A new paper written by zoologist Dr Susan Crockford to mark International Polar Bear Day today has found that global polar bear numbers have continued to rise. Numbers have been steadily increasing since 2005, with 2018 data estimating the highest number of polar bears globally since they were protected by international treaty in 1973.

Numbers are so high that Inuit leaders have been pleading with he Canadian government for more polar bear population control as violent attacks against native populations have dramatically risen in recent years. Far from the 2007 predictions of a 67% decline in global polar bear numbers, the new report reveals that numbers have risen to the highest levels in decades. Happy International Polar Bear Day!

#2 Well, then I suppose they'll add a section in the 'Green New Deal' to start replacing beef with Polar Bear meat?

If the predictions of your model or theory don't match the observations, then your model is wrong - no matter how elegant or how much time you spent on it or how much you believe it. It's wrong.

#5 They just need to adjust the figures for recorded Polar Bears and the model will still work.

This is just basic climate ~~Lyskenkoism~~science.

#7 Until we solve that problem...

If they were brown bears or black bears we could do something. But they are white...

#8 But what about their housing crisis? There aren't enough reasonably priced icebergs.
