Increase in polar bear numbers just one example of global warming ‘fake science’ REMEMBER when polar bears were the poster-animal of the global warming scare? Warming was melting their ice, you were told. Scientists and journalists agreed: the bears were starving or drowning. In fact, that great bear scare is one of three big global warming predictions that have just exploded. It’s extraordinary. Have we ever seen so many warming scares go splat in a single month? Go through them: Polar bears AL Gore in his Oscar-winning propaganda film, An Inconvenient Truth, showed an animation of a polar bear swimming in a hopeless search for ice floes melted by global warming. “A new scientific study shows that for the first time, they’re finding polar bears that have actually drowned,” groaned Gore in his film, shown to a generation of Australian schoolchildren. It was fake science. The four drowned bears found by that one study in fact died in a sudden storm. But don’t let facts get in the way of a good scare. “We’re watching the ice shrink in front of our eyes, and if there is no ice, there are no bears,” insisted Carter Roberts, president of the WWF green group. Journalists exploited questionable data by bear researcher Steven Amstrup to file breathless reports with headlines like “Scientists: Most Polar Bears Dead by 2050”. Coca-Cola sniffed a marketing opportunity. It promoted its Arctic Home project by turning 1.4 billion Coke cans white and decorating them with images of a bear and her cubs. In 2008, even president George Bush’s Interior Secretary gave in to the scare, announcing: “I am listing the polar bear as a threatened species.” But the scare was always baseless. Now the Scientific Working Group to the Canada-Greenland Joint Commission on Polar Bears has confirmed that polar bears now number between 22,633 to 32,257, up from 20,000 to 25,000 a decade ago. The polar bear is not drowning but waving. You were fooled. Western Australia IN 2004, professional alarmist Tim Flannery warned that global warming was killing Perth: “I think there is a fair chance Perth will be the 21st century’s first ghost metropolis.” Farms around Perth’s corner of Australia would also be blasted. “Its whole primary production is in dire straits and the eastern states are only 30 years behind,” Flannery said. Flannery, later appointed chief climate commissioner by the Gillard government, predicted much of the nation would face critical shortages of drinking water: “Even the rain that falls isn’t actually going to fill our dams and our river systems.” In fact, global warming would shrivel crops worldwide, warmists claimed. “The United Nations’ food agency has warned that it will be less and less likely that we can feed the human population if climate change continues on its present trajectory,” president of the Australian Conservation Foundation, Professor Ian Lowe, said in 2012. But check now. Perth has already had its wettest summer on record. West Australian growers have also smashed the crop production record this season, breaking the old mark set just three years ago. In fact, farmers around the world last year set another global record for grain crops. And Australia’s city dams are 70 per cent full, up from 52 per cent this time last year. Extreme weather ALARMISTS, embarrassed by so many dud predictions, now simply claim global warming will create more “extreme weather”, so that they seem right whether we get a drought or a flood.  ::) Journalists go along with this. This ABC headline from a fortnight ago is typical: “Scientists warn extreme weather is a result of warming planet.” In fact, even the latest report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change could not find clear evidence of more extreme weather overall. Now a huge new report has found that hailstorms, thunderstorms and high wind events in China have actually halved since 1960. China’s weather has got not more extreme, but less. “The record we used is, to the best of our knowledge, the largest, both in timescale and area of land covered,” said Fuqing Zhang, professor of meteorology and atmospheric science at Penn State. Those are three big blows to the global warming scaremongers in just one month. Add them to other debunked scares, like the ones about cyclones getting more worse and islands drowning. In fact, 40 per cent of low-lying atoll islands have got bigger, and another 40 per cent are stable. So where is this climate disaster? Why are we spending billions of dollars and wrecking our supply of cheap electricity to stop what isn’t happening?

These "So Called" Climate Scientists are nothing more than Witch Doctors...  :D

Actually you didn't nominate anyone.

these climate Scientist should lose their funding with the amount of dud predictions that they've made...

I DO NOT KNOW OF ONE TIME ANY OF THEIR PREDICTIONS WERE RIGHT.. NOT ONE!!  >:(

Fair Dinkum...

if these "SO CALLED" climate Scientists were stock Market Traders they'd be broke beyond all recognition..


they have not made one good call... not one...

Sorry.. they have made one good call... To go along with the Government Narrative to deceive the people with the Bullshit Global Warming to get their funding...

with the Fake "so called" Scientists spreading lies.. its not the only way they they are trying to deceive us..

for instance... I'm hardly hearing a word about these Summer Snow falls and Coldest Records being set in Australia and New Zealand...

shhhhhhh

Hottest Year Evahhhh!!!  :D

Easy you're confusing weather with climate

May I suggest the commercials used to educate Trump

Wasting your time, Bojac.

That's right, bojack is wasting time. Trouble is he keeps wasting other people's time as well.

People in the Arctic don't go outside without a gun, that's how much the polar bear numbers are decreasing.

yes..

why wont Joke Monk comment on that??

Those estimate ranges overlap, so they could just have easily have fallen from 25,000 to 22,633 in the last decade.

The truth is that no one really knows how many polar bears are out there. Although the fact that they are no longer hunted by humans as much as they were in the past has obviously helped their numbers.

Mechanic, if you want some lessons on how to post a link, let me know. It is very easy, even a child can do it.

That is what I found from a quick google, the ban on hunting and the uncertainty of the population estimate.

Their numbers have no relation to AGW, of course. Be interesting to find how they adapted, hunting on land rather than icefloes or whatever. We do know the sea ice extent in the Arctic is decreasing. If the census was more accurate we could see how the various subpopulations are faring.

Bit of a clue:


Quote:

A gradual shift in bear population distributions has been noted by Elizabeth Peacock, a US Geological Society researcher. Over the last 15 to 45 years polar bears have shifted their distribution more toward the Canadian Archipelago, which is north of the Canadian mainland in the Arctic. The study is published in the latest issue of PLOS ONE, reports Discovery. "Sea ice is like a moving sidewalk and they travel with it," Peacock says. "Bears likely move towards places with better access to prey and mates." A directional gene flow from south, east and west towards the Canadian Archipelago was noticed in DNA analysis of four genetically similar clusters of polar bears identified by their location.

First link that came up in a search of polar bears adapting to climate change.  So rather than adapt the bears are migrating.

Really need a detailed census tho and another 10 years later.

There was a recent documentary series on SBS "Wild Canada". This showed actually footage of polar bears catching trout in one of the northern rivers. They are intelligent and resourceful animals

Migration and some adaptation. Complex situation:
