A recent study is predicting a dire future for the polar bear population on Canada’s Hudson Bay due to the effects of global warming, which climate zealots claim is caused primarily by mankind’s emissions from using fossil fuels to power civilization. But at least one prominent polar bear scientist claims that the study is flawed and full of spurious methodology.
The study, published in the science journal Nature, ominously predicts that if the nations of the world are not successful in maintaining the Paris climate accord, Western Hudson Bay (WHB) and Southern Hudson Bay (SHB) polar bear populations will lose food sources, primarily ringed seals and their pups. This will lead to prolonged fasting periods, which could dramatically affect polar bear reproduction.
But, in her Polar Bear Science blog, researcher Susan Crockford dismisses the study as “yet another bit of utterly useless fearmongering.” Crockford is a zoologist with more than 40 years’ experience with polar bears. She was let go from the University of Victoria in Canada in 2019 when she found that, instead of being endangered as climate fanatics insist, polar bears were actually thriving.
Crockford explains the two main reasons that the study from the University of Manitoba and the University of Toronto is flawed: “It’s a model projection that uses widely discredited SSP5-8.5 ‘business as usual’ climate scenarios for its predictions,” and “it’s based on the false premise that Western and Southern Hudson Bay polar bears have already suffered harm from reduced sea ice blamed on fossil fuel-caused global warming.”
According to Crockford, the paper suffers from the fact that the authors maintain an obvious bias toward the idea that the climate-zealot position that global warming is man-made and can only be addressed by the cessation of fossil fuel use is beyond...

HA! You beat me to it.
“This will lead to prolonged fasting periods...”
But that’s GOOD for humans. Why is it bad for bears? Hmmmm???
Don’t be so quick to celebrate. There is not a single polar bear left in Scranton. It’s *boiling* hot here.
What’s next, Polar Bears drinking Bullet Proof Coffee?

That’s right.
If that were me, I'd have the feeling that the cookies were just the appetizer and I was the main course.
The only good bear is a dead bear.
I urge global warmists to rush up to polar bear country and give a polar bear a big hug, let them know how much you care.
One wonders how the polar bear survived the warming when Greenland was actually green and you could grow grapes there.
What’s nice is that the polar bears are looking forward to human extinction...one bite at a time...
Sixty years ago they were predicting the extinction of the American Alligator!
Then in the 1980s the extinction of the Prairie Dog!
Then the Polar Bear!
Every few years it is something else.

Bald eagle.
Grizzly Bear.
Honey Bees.
Bumble bees.
Salt water crocodiles
African Elephants.
Whales.
All the above are doing fine.
Never: Mosquitoes, Fire Ants, Chiggers. Because people do not have a problem with the extinction of some species...
As long as the leftwits don’t try to reintroduce them to Georgia. 😏
I will not cry if the polar bears become extinct. For the time being, their numbers are increasing.
Polar bears have made it through two previous interglacials. The earth was warmer then.
