Arctic nations that are home to most of the world's polar bears should be leading the charge against global warming
The United States isn't exactly an "Arctic" nation, sweets (parts of North Dakota and Maine excepted).
Any Canadians care to comment?

Thin Polar Bears Called Sign of Global Warming
No, its a sign that they need more, preferably chubby, tree-huggers to visit.

I always appreciate your evenhanded posts, but I just have a hard time believing anything from the World Wildlife Fund.

"Hungry Polar Bears". Isn't that redundant, like saying "Extremist Muslim"?

One day Chicken Little was walking in the woods when -- KERPLUNK -- an acorn fell on her head
"Oh my goodness!" said Chicken Little. "The sky is falling! I must go and tell the king."

Thin Polar Bears Called Sign of Global Warming
It's just a sign that Body for Life is being sold at a deep discount in the Arctic Circle

Good Heavens...typical liberal clap-trap doomsaying. If the polar bears are thinner now, perhaps they must be more health conscious and are using more tofu and whole grains while getting more arobic exercise between appointments with their yoga instructers and aroma-therapists.

I think
these people might dispute your claim that the United States aren't an arctic nation.

I would love to see the fat vs. body mass stats kept during the last 100 years. But my guess is a few researches spot a few thin looking bears and jump to a conclusion.
Any chance they are adapting to the warmer weather we had this year and need less fat ?

threats faced by the world's 22,000 polar bears Last January, a population of 27,000 bears was reported, along with a 66% error in counting: Higher Nunavut polar bear numbers lead to hopes of increased hunting trade
IQALUIT, Nunavut (CP) - A new survey has found 66 per cent more polar bears in an area of Nunavut than was previously estimated, raising hopes for more visits from American hunters. Nunavut's is estimated to have 16,000 bears - more than half the entire global population of 27,000.

I'll take one. There are five 16-story buildings in the place where I live, and liberals and democrats sufficient to feed a polar bear for his entire life.

Perhaps these polar bears can switch to munching on the ever-multiplying caribou during summer months.

Good grief,
Stormy winter= Global Warming
Mild winter= Global Warming
Dry hot summer= Global Warming
Cool rainy summer= Global Warming

For all of the doom & gloom I suggest that the tree huggers & peta people just have a "Jim Jones" koolaid party & end it for them. It's just toooo much stress on them.

I just read in here yesterday that a chunk of ice named C-19 had broken off, and was a little smaller than the size of the Chesapeake Bay.
anyway...
Also in the article was a claim that the average temperature in the Arctic has never been lower than it is right now.
I'm so confused...

Maybe Liberals could go to court and force all of the fast food chains to air drop burgers and fries to the hungry Polar Bears!

The difference between these claims and parody is now too small to measure.

So a fatty diet of seals is good for bears, but if we want a double bacon cheeseburger at Wendy's our body-monitor NGOs are outraged. Will they ever make up their mind?

"The WWF report shows that polar bears in Hudson Bay are being impacted by climate change," said Lynn Rosentrater Whose to argue with the World Wrestling Federation?
