Oh my, another thing caused by global warming to put on the list of hundreds! Don’t have the link right now of the list, but Rush had it on his web site. Incredible!

And just how do we know that walruses haven’t been doing this for centuries? Did they tell Algore?

Is this going to affect the running of the walruses in Paloma?

Kind of like feeding the homeless to the hungry.

No kidding. When I read this article this morning at work, the first thing that came to mind was,
“I bet the retards try to blame this on global warming.”

Dumb down the population, and they will believe anything, ex specially Global Warming... thank you NEA

You’d think the global warming cultist would come to the realization that most people are tuning them out now. Way to much “boy that cried wolf” going on.

BTW - The deaths are an estimate. This raises my BS Flag. Whenever I see the word “estimate” these days I substitute it with “made up.” I may not be right every time but chances are very good I am most of the time.

Let me give you more reason to raise the BS flag higher.

From the article - "A Russian biologist estimates that as many as 4,000 walruses out of a population of some 200,000 died this year, a death rate that's two or three times the usual number."

If 4000 walruses die every year in a population of 200,000, that means the life expectancy for a walrus is 50 years.

But if that 4000 is 2-3 times the "normal number" then with normal numbers of deaths, the life expectancy for a walrus is 100-150 years.

The unnamed scientist is obviously full of crap.

"Third, can they prove that sea ice conditions caused the deaths?"

Well, since we know that UN scienticians never lie, apparently a 1 degree increase in temperatures over the last century completely melts every chunk of ice in the ocean.

Global Warming is all Bush’s fault and Bush got elected because of Global Warming. It’s so simple!

Oh, I thought it was cell phones.
