Over the coming days a curiously revealing event will be taking place in Copenhagen. Top of the agenda at a meeting of the Polar Bear Specialist Group (set up under the International Union for the Conservation of Nature/Species Survival Commission) will be the need to produce a suitably scary report on how polar bears are being threatened with extinction by man-made global warming.
This is one of a steady drizzle of events planned to stoke up alarm in the run-up to the UN's major conference on climate change in Copenhagen next December. But one of the world's leading experts on polar bears has been told to stay away from this week's meeting, specifically because his views on global warming do not accord with those of the rest of the group.
Dr Mitchell Taylor has been researching the status and management of polar bears in Canada and around the Arctic Circle for 30 years, as both an academic and a government employee. More than once since 2006 he has made headlines by insisting that polar bear numbers, far from decreasing, are much higher than they were 30 years ago. Of the 19 different bear populations, almost all are increasing or at optimum levels, only two have for local reasons modestly declined.
Dr Taylor agrees that the Arctic has been warming over the last 30 years. But he ascribes this not to rising levels of CO2 – as is dictated by the computer models of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and believed by his PBSG colleagues ...

Nothing scarier than a polar bear with an AK!
LOL!
BUMP!
Cute, but before you republish it, use the correct word: Due, not Do.
Polar bears are at the top of their food chain and have no natural enemies and practically no diseases. Consequently, rather than being killed or dying suddenly, the majority become unable to hunt by the natural aging process, and starve. It’s not pretty, but it’s natural. And it’s got nothing to do with humans.
A couple of months ago I was fortunate to see the 1933 movies "Eskimo" (which I can't recommend enough, BTW). In this movie they showed real-world footage of polar bears easily jumping into the ocean and swimming arbitrary distances between ice patches. They were quite obviously every bit as comfortable in the water as out.
ROFLMAO!!
wONDERFUL!
Since when do facts, truth and verification have anything to do with trillion dollar spending for pork projects in the name of wildlife? ha.
Looterbear, lol.
Always a great combo of graphics.
I recall the last time you posted it.
Global Warming. It’s the Unreal Thing.
.
I may try to incorporate the Polar Bear and the 2 Palm Trees
The Polar Bear has more frames than the lower large .gif so I would have to create a TP BG image of the Polar Bear and 2 Palm Trees at the top - Then add the oiginal larger animated graphic
Filesize will be bigger - but it will be quicker and simpler to post
You worry too much about filesize. If you are abele to see something, anybody can.
I was just now looking at that in email!! Was getting ready to reply and got a ping. Looks like a good job on that, everything working as it should and no distortion!!
.
Yeah - It came out pretty good
Adding TP areas on each side and over and under is the trick
Then crop the areas off you do not want
A good simple self explanatory algore parody
It’s Magick.....
[It’s Magick.....]
Not much of that around anymore, lol. Dancing palms
.
Yeah - a rare animated composite for me
If Greenpeace had a brain in their head they get with unions to move manufacturing back stateside because we have an EPA, does India, China or Russia have an EPA? Don’t think so. The stuff is going to get built regardless, so why not build it here in factories that actually have scrubbers and used to have common sense regulation. No instead it is a global massacare of NOx, SO2, Mercury and Arsnic.
Thanks you greenie idiots.
Less Ice, more plankton, more plankton, more seals, more seals, more polar bears.
Uh, DUH!
Survival of the fittest and natural selection will weed out the polar bears who cannot swim.
I though the left loved Survival of the fittest and natural selection?
