Climate change could make giving birth riskier for polar bears in northern Alaska

We should send libs there to become “birthing moms” to help em out. Just more climate change propaganda BS.

[Howie66]

I guess that it’s a good thing for polar bears that there is no such thing as “climate change”, then.

Next!

...and the idiocy continues......

When Al Gore was born there were 8,000 polar bears. Today only 30,000 remain. 😆

[cgbg]

Think of the carbon footprint of ABC news.

They are guilty of climate crimes.

They must cease operations immediately!

Since when does the left care about giving birth?

[Reagan80]

Clearly, Polar Bear Abortions are needed.

At U.S. Taxpayer expense, of course.

[goldstategop]

Stupider gets stupider. Now polar bears are going to perish from the cold. 😆

“Well, our “science” is now in the hands of mentally retarded teenagers.”

HOW DARE YOU!?!?! /s

“A new study suggests that before the end of the century, mother polar bears in this region may no longer be able to find the deep snowbanks they need to dig dens. “

The authors of the study are (a) dumber than a polar bear and (b) don’t admit the strength of LIFE in every living thing to find a solution, as best they can, when confronted with a problem.

Like all other bears, the polar bear mothers will find a way to dig a cave somewhere, and if that means not in a snowbank, the less snow and ice means it will be in the ground.

These studies erroneously give zero credit for LIFE to adapt to change, in spite of the fact that that ability and the environmental changes that have driven it is an essential part of evolution and LIFE.

There's something like 30,000 polar bears now, highest number since the 1960's.

Expanding their range, which is what flourishing animals do.

Decimating the seal population too, by the way. Yum, yum.

[Bon mots]

We now have the highest polar bear population in 50 years.

22,000 - 30,000 of them.

[Mrs. Don-o]

This little girl Megan Liu must be wrong though, because she says we have to reduce our emissions before the end of this century--- evidently we have something like 80 years--- when the other know-it-all teen says we have round about 11 years.

And temps have been fluctuating back and forth for millennia. The polar bears are smart. They will migrate to more hospitable climes. It's what they always do.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Since 2005, however, the estimated global polar bear population has risen by more than 30% to about 30,000 bears, far and away the highest estimate in more than 50 years. A growing number of observational studies have documented that polar bears are thriving, despite shrinking summer sea ice.Feb 27, 2017

Susan Crockford has documented numerous errors in survey methods and polar bear counts and - most importantly - in the corruption of his Polar Bear Studies Group from accurate research into political bias, then outright propaganda issuing projections opposite real facts.

Polar bears will be extinct by then because they can’t find mates as they float around on melting little pieces of ice.

It was -32 this week where I live in central Alaska so not to worry.

[chiller]

they don’t want a few billion Asians driving private automobiles and heating/cooling private homes.

I know this is a fear of the elites, but not sure why. Elitism ? Emissions ? Electricity ? over population ? Do they want to keep the "slaves" in bondage ? Capitalism would lift up the lives of lots of 3rd worlders.

[palmer]

If warming is "bad" why then is the greatest biodiversity on the planet found along the equator?

I ask a similar question, why does global warming (less bitter cold in winter) only favor pine beetles? The answer is it doesn't. All beetles do better. All life does better. Pine is somewhat diminished but forests get much more diverse.

[kearnyirish2]

I believe they have a very real fear, based on the situation in LA, of the smog generated.
