Keep in mind these people were not just on land. They surveyed land, sea, and ice. Their observations showed an increase from 138 bears(79-87) to 468 bears (97-05)...an INCREASE of 238%.
Ice vanishing? Lets look at a comparison between Jan 10,1979 and Jan 10, 2010:
The "Beaufort Sea" is located the upper left area of both satellite images. To find exactly where it is, using the image on the left, follow a straight line from the zero on the chart on the left...moving to the right until you hit the water/ice. Just above that point (above the small green island) you will see a red/pinkish blob showing less of a concentration of sea ice. On the image on the right (from Jan 10 2010) there is no pinkish spot on the Beaufort Sea. The ice concentration is purple meaning a thicker concentration of sea ice.
If their contention is that there is more summer time ice melting, then they should say so, but this idea that somehow the area has seen its ice vanish is pure BS.

Maybe it's the body heat from all those extra polar bears that is causing the ice to melt. LOL!
Time for the envirowackos to give it a rest.

But, but, this can’t be! EVERYONE knows that the decrease of ice means that the polar bear will DIE!!!!!

Yeah, what a bunch of BS. The polar bear data is from 2005. That’s five freakin’ years ago! These AGW alarmists are grasping at anything to keep the myth alive!

Wow, first the polar bears drowned when the ice melted and so their numbers dwindled. So the dwindling numbers proved global warming. Well, if their numbers increased, it must be due to melting ice and so the increased numbers must be due to global warming! Amazing thing, this climate “science.”
Who knew that polar bears actually are marine animals? Now we know that they are sea creatures in the process of migrating to land due to global warming!

Great post. You’re right - more ice - more liberal lies...
