Several years ago, we were warned that bears were starving due to global warming and would be irretrievably lost.
I recall the first interview I did with Alaska's then-governor, Sarah Palin, about the polar bear situation in 2008, before she got famous. I asked her if the news reports were right that polar bears were starving. I only have a reference to the link, unfortunately, but I vividly recall her most memorable quote: "Our bears are healthy bears!"
She added that maybe that could be the situation in Canada, but it certainly wasn't in Alaska.
Now ABC News and NBC News are reporting that bears are flooding Alaska's villages, supposedly because of the loss of their ice floe habitat. The Washington Post is bringing them up as an argument against the GOP tax cut bill.
Problematically to the claim about the missing ice floes (unlikely now that it's winter), the photos prominently feature obese bears who clearly haven't fled any sort of famine.
Fact is, not only are the Alaska natives seeing too many bears proliferating, but so are the scientists who study them. Professor Susan Crockford of the University of Victory has observed the proliferation of bears, and far from saying they are endangered, she concludes they "are not at risk," which, of course, got her attacked by ideological leftists and those for whom global warming is a religion.
Terence Corcoran of Canada's Financial Post notes that this bear issue and the left's shifting story on it is a magic talking point for global warmers, who go after anyone who deviates from their party line:

They’re eating all the baby seals!
Don’t eat the liver! Too much vitamin A, it is deadly!
Coming soon ... news article that starts off with superfluous digs at Sarah Palin. That will lead into drivel that explains why global warming is causing polar bears to invade Alaska and how Sarah Palin is stupid for not knowing that. Ninety percent of “top” scientists will agree. They’ll then blame Christians in general for everything that’s wrong in the world followed by Trump is a Nazi.
Sound about right?
So there are so many Polar Bears they’re eating Penguins in the South Pole ,LOL
Yes, but those are extinct polar bears wandering all over the place. That's the worst kind.
I remember when a Ship of Leftist Fools went up to the Arctic a few years ago to prove there was no more Arctic ice cap... and they got stuck in the ice and had to walk to some rescue point. I was so disappointed they weren’t eaten by polar bears. That would have been so PERFECT!!!
You guys got it all wrong.
The Polar Bears are thriving due to AlGore’s heroic efforts and the Paris Agreement.
Since Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement, the poor polar bears will be completely extinct by December 2020.
/s
Polar Bears regularly visit Little Diomede island in the Bearing Sea and the kids who live there are escorted to school by rifle toting elders.
It’s an obvious photoshop. The Antarctic penguin roasting on the fire gives it away.
They can give his food to you.

Monica Showalter is Full of shite.
Polar bear populations follow swings in the seal and fish populations. When the seals are scarce, Polar bears go up rivers to feed on whatever they can find. Its actually normal and has nothing to do with global warming. The seal population bounces back and the bears hunt seal either on the ice flows or in the frozen bays, or along the sea shore if there is no ice, then forsaking the river systems for food.
Bears do not die off because of lack of ice. They adapt. That’s why they have not gone extinct like these flaming liberal fascist global warmers will, who do NOT adapt.
No, the polar bears bought a case of frozen penguins on ebay. They've gone high tech. Just look at their toys.
You’re right! It’s legit.
Apex predators usually die by starvation due to some condition that impairs hunting. Seeing a polar bear starving is perfectly natural. Sad, but true.
Time for an open season???
ROFL!!
Canadian Polar Bears Crowd Alaska Looking for Good Health Care!
Warmist, should be shorthand for I am always wrong about everything.
Only Libtard half-wits were worrying about the polar bears. These animals are at the top of the food chain—and it’s almost unheard of to be able to legally hunt them.
