Newsflash! Polar bears are coming ashore in the Hudsons Bay area. The ice cover is almost gone in the bay, forcing the bears to abandon their marine habitat. Oops, I forgot to mention that this happens every year. By November they will be getting back on the ice for the winter. On a more serious note, someone should remind these mental midgets that relocating species to continents that they don't belong causes unpredictable damage to existing flora and fauna. Ask Australians about rabbits.

Er, that would be a really bad idea.

The animals in the south are not used to predators (see: march of the penguins) and would be quickly exterminated by increasing obese and lazy bears.

Leftards and pseudo-scientists need to realize that even if we were responsible for GW (we aren't) that you don't fix an error by compounding it.

Will the hubris and arrogance of these people never end? Seriously.

Good line though.

Lotta nerve you have sending me to the wired website. Gonna take several days for my brain to clear from the comment fog over there.

Lets relocate all enviromentalists and leftards all to the artic so the polar bears have lots to eat even though they probably taste real s--tty

why would anyone wish to introduce homosexuality into polar bears. Is it because they're beautiful in the first place, and maneaters?

The problem with these people is that they are to affraid to fart because this will put methane into the atmosphere so they hold it in and the gas begins to creep up their spines and into their brains and this is were they get all their shitty ideas from.

Sure, move the polars to Antarctica and watch them gorge on penguins.

Then watch the penguins become extinct and the polars become too fat to catch regular meals . . . seals.

Clean up our own neighbourhoods and watch the Polar bears recover easily.

Hey TG, You have Polar bears in your neighborhood?

Ecology as disciplined science begun to disappear about the same time as universities begun to change their biology departments to "environmental science" departments. Now, graduates of these departments don't have qualifications worth celebrating. A true depth of understanding of ecological, evolutionary and adaptive systems came out of the rigorous, mind-numbing study of the biologist's core disciplines - mammology, zoology and comparative anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, ethology, and all of the plant science disciplines. Students don't get that now. As a consequence, they have no adequate intellectual basis upon which to draw their public statements. Jessica Hellman's degree(s) aren't worth the paper their printed on, if the attributed quotes are hers. That a college of the one-time stature of Notre Dame should claim her, is even more evidence of the decline of intellectual rigour in modern institutes of higher learning. In all of the prognostications of many modern self-described "ecologists" none seem to have gained through their studies any appreciation of the adaptive capabilities of modern species, and how they acquired that ability.

I wonder if shw was the lame brain that came up with the idea of spreading carbon on the artic a few years ago because of global cooling?

Okay, I just read this same thing on Dust My Broom and this was my comments there:

Man, when will this climate-eco-insanity stop? The people who keep talking about our polar bears (nanuks) disappearing are the same ones who have never set foot in my hometown. Where's that? Iqaluit, Nunavut on Frobisher Bay, Baffin Island, Eastern Arctic! I LIVE UP HERE YOU IDIOTS! The ice in Frobisher Bay (as it usually does) didn't start to break up until late June and is still pack full of ice making it difficult for our sealift ships to get through. Yes, there are some climatic changes going on, but NOT the DOOMSDAY predictions these clowns are making. We just went through one of the coldest winters in my 20 years up here. Hell, Environment Canada can't even get a 5 day forecast right, so why in hell should I believe some climate change computer model is right?

In addition, the southern eco-nuts and climate change jerk-offs continue to show their ignorance of our environment and the bears themselves. Bears populations are plentiful and stable in most parts of Nunavut and growing. And where does the majority of Polar Bears live in the world's population? Yep, Nunavut. Bears are also more than capable of adapting and surviving better than humans are. I had to laugh when I read an article that said polar bears were drowning up here. Are you kidding me? Polar bears are extremely well adapted to swim long distances in the oceans up here and do so regularly. Bears don't drown!

This is all common knowledge for us up here because we live where they live. Inuit traditional knowledge is also regularly ignored by the science community and much to their embarrassment. Recently, DFO had to finally admit that their estimates of the Eastern Arctic Bowhead whale populations (few hundred) were wrong, seriously wrong. The Inuit, who had strongly disagreed, were right all along as DFO now admits there's about 14,000 whales around the Baffin Island region. Just a tad wrong eh?!!! Sorry, but the attitude of science superiority vs traditional knowledge has caused more misunderstanding, factual distortions and outright falsehoods than you can shake a stick at. Oh yeah, there are no sticks up here to shake.

And I can just imagine the absolute feast polar bears would have on those poor penguins in Antarctic. It's bad enough penguins have to dodge killer whales and leopard seals, but even they are no match for the type of killing machine a polar bear is. If I could figure out how to post some photos from up here on this site, I'd show you what I mean.

Footnote: Apparently there's some kind of Climate Change conference happening here this week in Iqaluit. I wonder what they'll say when my friend takes them out in his boat on Frobisher Bay tomorrow that's still cover in ice floes near the end of July.....Maybe we should put them on the ice floes and let the bears eat them.....
