  1. sounds like ” polar bear gate” he he ! fudged data ? inconclusive data ? computer models ? this has “polar bear gate” written all over it !!

  2. Now why would an “expert” ask the local population if polar bear population is growing or shrinking? After all,the natives who encounter them evrey day are just dummies,not intellectual experts!They are just seeing things,probably caused by CO2 psychosis.F4king lying commie bastards.

  3. Polar bear number pronouncements by “experts” living thousands of miles away remind me of the “experts” based in Ottawa telling Newfoundland fishermen that they were wrong in their contention that the cod weren’t as plentiful as they had been in the past.
    Kind of puts the whole concept of “expert” into question doesn’t it?

    “MĂ©xico is a Gigantic Refrigerator”
    “Es Mexico Una Hielera Gigantesca”
    9 Jan 2010 – Email from a reader in Mexico
    Hi Robert!
    Minus 7 degrees Celsius was our low in Saltillo yesterday and in addition to a frozen water pipe in our house, today there are no less than 13 headlines in various sections of our local paper relating to the current cold wave and all its local implications.
    Two jumped out at me. Es Mexico Una Hielera Gigantesca (“MĂ©xico is a Gigantic Refrigerator”) http://www.vanguardia.com.mx/diario/noticia/estados/nacional/es_mexico_una_
    hielera_gigante sca/450929 (I never dreamed I would ever see such a headline here!)
    The other (finally) is the first one I have seen throwing doubt on global warming ÂżDĂłnde quedĂł el calentamiento? (“Where is the Warming?”) http://www.vanguardia.com.mx/diario/noticia/masnoticias/internacional/%C2%BFdonde_quedo_el _calentamiento?_/450919
    One of the accompanying photos in the articles shows the exquisite pleasure of a young child experiencing snow in Mexico. The other shows the stark reality of an ice bound boat, the MV Arkona, in a canal in Holland.
    Come on Mr. Gore. Bring us some “global warming.”

  5. From the article: “Flaherty, himself a serious hunter, says the abundant food supply – primarily baby ring seals – in the area is responsible for the bigger litters.”
    Gotta love environmental blowback. Polar bears dining on whitecoats… now there’s a photo worthy of propagation.

  6. I saw 1 report where there were 600,000 square miles of new ice in the Arctic in spring 2009 because of the brutally cold 08-09 winter.What happened to that story?
    The weather maps never show the temperatures at Resolute unless they are mild.
    Maybe we should ask the two women believers from Minnesota who tried to walk to the North Pole in summer 2008 to take a dip. They were rescued with severe frostbite before they got there.

  7. And as Leonard Asper battles the Scotiabank because of his borrowing himself rich, he employs a reporter at the Vancouver Sun named Stone er should be Stoned, who writes an article claiming global warming is a worse threat than terrorism! And this clown Asper wonders why the banks want their money back. Give it up MSM or face extinction, if your to stupid to see wolf wolf and lies don’t cut it anymore, earth to msm this isn’t the Turdoh Cretin era, won’t work. So msm reporters, go cuddle up to a polar bear, and don’t worry about looking for one, once you fools find the arctic, they will find you.

  8. I’ve often wondered why Asper hasn’t changed direction and used Canwest to champion conservative
    values in Canada similar to Fox News in the states.
    Fox makes a ton of money by being the only media
    outlet that consistently opposes extreme leftwing bias so prevalent in all other MSM.
    At this stage of the game I don’t think Asper and Canwest have much to lose.

  9. The enviro-clowns with their ridiculous claims should just opt to go experience some AGW with the polar bears.
    They should try a nap on an ice flow and see if the bears regard them as a food source responsible for scaring the seals…

  10. Speaking of ice flows, why do we never hear why the polar bears need them? Polar bears can swim for days, in the open sea. They can catch seals, and eat them while swimming. What do they really need icebergs for?

  11. dp… it’s “floes”; not “flows”. Just FYI.
    As to your question, the floes make catching seals easier. It’s not that polar bears can’t catch seals in open water, just that it is much harder — read: burns much more energy — than pouncing on them on the ice. Particularly the young whitecoats, which are basically immobile.
    Speaking again of whitecoats, it’s good to see the polar bears taking over where the humans left off. Perhaps some Hollywood clown would like to try and convince polar bears from eating the cute cuddly whitecoats. I figure Sir Paul would have his work cut out for him protecting a whitecoat from a 1200 lb bear. 🙂

  12. The claim by Greenpeace about their attack boat being rammed is not credible.
    Prior to the video, the Greenpeace boat had been buzzing the Japanese ship, coming dangerously close multiple times.
    Additionally, the Greenpeace boat appears to engage its engines, and move towards the Japanese ship just prior to the collision.
    After seeing videos of Greenpeace activists illegally boarding ships, shooting lasers at the crew of ships, shooting arrows at ships, harrassing ships lawfully underway, I fail to see any significant distinction between Greenpeace and pirates, in most regards,

  13. Found this buried away before Christmas:

    Study shows CFCs, cosmic rays major culprits for global warming
    WATERLOO, Ont. (Monday, Dec. 21, 2009) – Cosmic rays and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), both already implicated in depleting the Earth’s ozone layer, are also responsible for changes in the global climate, a University of Waterloo scientist reports in a new peer-reviewed paper.
    In his paper, Qing-Bin Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy, shows how CFCs – compounds once widely used as refrigerants – and cosmic rays – energy particles originating in outer space – are mostly to blame for climate change, rather than carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. His paper, derived from observations of satellite, ground-based and balloon measurements as well as an innovative use of an established mechanism, was published online in the prestigious journal Physics Reports.
    “My findings do not agree with the climate models that conventionally thought that greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, are the major culprits for the global warming seen in the late 20th century,” Lu said.

  14. As my Dad often quipped – an “expert” is just some fool away from home.
    Journalism schools focus on promoting controversy and calamity and downplay reality because reality is too boring. If it bleeds it leads.
    And so we have our clueless media introducing these clowns as; experts, leading scientists, professors of something or other, lead authors, analysts ..
    When most people hear these adjectives, it is a ‘red flag’ – bull sh!t ahead.

  15. Why, it’s perfectly warm down here on my private Carribean island.
    Keep those carbon offsets rolling in now, peons!

  16. “However, the PBSG quickly acknowledged that “the mixed quality of information on the different subpopulations means there is much room for error in establishing” the numbers,”
    Covering your asses boys?
    In Northern B.C., we had to put up with the same sort of BS regarding black bears and the radical group,”Bearwatch”,who insisted the black bears were an endangered species and Grizzlies were practically extinct.
    Those of us who lived and worked up there saw the black bears increasing every year and noticed almost all females were accompanied by two or three cubs,something that had been very unusual in the past.
    We were shouted down by activists and their “experts”, who were basically paid liars, and due to their actions, many people gave up on bear hunting.
    Now, the “endangered” black bears are as thick as rabbits up North, and are a real nuisance to people,who apparently don’t count in the animal rights groups equation.
    Listen to the Inuit, ignore the “experts”.

  17. Well, the Edmonton Jurinal says polar bears are in a death spiral
    ~Mad Eye
    Death spiral?
    Everyone knows polar bears are into hockey, not figure skating.
    Particularly the young whitecoats, which are basically immobile.
    ~Mark Peters
    I’m guessing(maybe wrong) the seals are not giving birth in the water so the bears are still going to be eating the young whitecoats wherever the seals are having them and probably getting a few adults too.
    I’m also guessing, from the weather I’ve been experiencing this far south, that there is still lots of ice up north.

  18. There were some very good points in the attached article. The fact that polar bears have adapted to climate change for centuries is the most obvious argument for not panicking.
    Another point which I can personally attest to, is the ineffectiveness of helicopter surveys. Having spent a good deal of time in the air, over northern AB, I’ve always been surprised at how hard it is to see animals. If you fly low, you have no field of view. If you fly high enough to pan, the dots get pretty small.
    I can appreciate your comment on ice FLOES, Mark, but as OZ says, polar bears seem to be able to make a meal where they find it. Just ask someone from Churchill. My friend lived there in the 70s, and it wasn’t unheard of for a bear to break into a residence, and raid the fridge. I watched a video of bears sifting through the Churchill dump, and catching their fur on fire, from burning trash. They don’t seem to give a damn about anything. I guess after you’ve swum in the arctic ocean, everything else is easy.

  19. dmorris- When I left NS in the 70s, black bears were something you only saw in a blue moon. There had been a bounty on them for years. On a visit to my sister last year, I was shocked to hear about all the bear encounters. My sister stepped in bear crap, on her doorstep, one spring morning. She lives in a fairly large village, surrounded by farmland. Nobody shoots them any more, and they’ve lost their fear, and good sense.

    Extreme cold weather in Norway caused the closure of a Norwegian gas supply processing centre which has impacted on the UK.
    Yet another National Grid gas alert has been issued and this time the UK government is appealing in desperation for extra gas to be pumped into the UK system from overseas.
    There is now a real danger that the supply of gas to the UK could be crippled in the days ahead unless alternative arrangements can be made immediately.

    “Pensioners found dead in their home at peak of UK’s Big Freeze spark inquiry into care ‘failures’
    Old, frail and struggling with the bitter weather conditions, it was obvious that Jean and Derek Randall’s lives were at risk.
    As Mr Randall’s health failed and the proud pensioner finally accepted he could no longer look after his wheelchair-bound wife, a neighbour and the couple’s MP contacted social services, the health service and even Age Concern in their search for a care home place.
    But none of them had provided any assistance weeks later when a concerned neighbour looked through the couple’s letterbox and spotted the body of 76-year-old Mr Randall lying in the hallway.”
    “Tragic: The couple were discovered when police broke into their house in Northampton, on Thursday. It is feared they could have been dead for five days.”

  23. AGW Sports Report: Hi, stinking sports fans.
    Here are the latest results from the Socialist Utopia of Freezing Britain.
    “Just 0.2pc of a possible 5pc of the UK’s energy was generated by wind turbines over the past few days,”.
    The causus? “the wind was not blowing.”
    “This means a lack of wind just at the time when demand goes through the roof.”

    UK: Wind funds should be diverted to gas storag”e
    If the British economy wasn’t already in tatters, the current cold snap could have tipped it over the edge.
    Because of the slowdown in industrial activity, factories and other businesses are using less energy. That’s why Britain’s current gas crisis isn’t as acute as it could have been.
    Despite the fact that industry is running at a subdued capacity, some businesses – with interruption clauses in their contracts – had to switch to other sources of energy as their taps were turned off.
    Proponents of wind energy believe that wind turbines will be a global panacea to all our energy needs. However, there was a major problem last week when energy demand was at its peak – the wind was not blowing.
    Cold weather is often accompanied by low pressure. This means a lack of wind just at the time when demand goes through the roof.
    Just 0.2pc of a possible 5pc of the UK’s energy was generated by wind turbines over the past few days, according to energy consultant Utilyx.”
