catastrophe The Polar Bear Catastrophe That Never Happened – Susan Crockford

…explains why the catastrophic decline in polar bear numbers we were promised in 2007 failed to materialize. It’s the story of how and why the polar bear came to be considered ‘Threatened’ with extinction, and tracks its rise and fall as an icon of the global warming movement. The book also tells the story of Crockford’s role in bringing that failure to public attention and the backlash against her that ensued – and why, among all others who have attempted to do so previously, she was uniquely positioned to do so.
 
In general, this is a cautionary tale of scientific hubris and of scientific failure, of researchers staking their careers on untested computer simulations and later obfuscating inconvenient facts.For the first time, you’ll see a frank and detailed account of attempts by scientists to conceal population growth as numbers rose…

  1. All it took was watching videos of fat polar bears grazing on vegetation, like their grizzly stepsisters to convince me there was no real problem. However, one video of a polar bear dying of cancer being labelled with dying of starvation convinces a lot of snowflakes of the end of the world.

  2. This looks like a book I could support.

    Love the amazon book reviews, here’s a quote from one of them;

    “politics has ruined science and journalism, and this is an important example of just how it happens”

    1. I got her two previous books about polar bears and yes they are worth supporting. They are easy to read and understand for even the younger set.

    1. There is a positive correlation between Al Gore’s weight, and the number of polar bears. Now that Gore looks like he has gorged himself for hibernation, polar bears are at record numbers (during Gore’s life).

  3. But, but the wise all knowing Inuit Elders said Global Warming was affecting the Arctic very bad and they all could see the harm, Meanwhile so much ice last year in the Arctic many of the shipping company’s could not get through the Arctic ice pack to take them White Man Traditional Food.

  4. To summarize: No environmentally related discipline is immune from the effects and corruption of green theocracy and its most sacred mythology, CAGW. Those intent on growing the state and enslaving the masses (IOW, social justice warriors) need the hysteria and therefore fund it, pimp it, or parrot it. The ubiquitous rent seeking whores who profit from it come from all sectors and political parties.

    Ironically, the polar bear, being well suited to frozen habitat, will likely fare better than any remaining humanity when Canada resumes its existence under a few kilometers of ice as has been the case for 90% of the last 400,000 years and four glaciations.

      1. wow.
        the money launderer does 6 weeks in gaol, and hands 3/4 million over to da gubbamint out of hugo proceeds.
        for hugo, read ‘huge’ as in typo, or Hugo, the darling of the left.
        p.s., howcum he aint inside the see-thru inert gas box like vlad?

        this be round 8,083,865,334,651,092,672,441,703,659 for the truth.

  5. A journal article did a study comparing science & denialist blogs,
    They used a conceptual framework developed [Nisbet] to analyze the postures of Creation Science writers.
    One method is to pick some specific high profile issue, fuzzify it, & impute that this invalidates all of AGW. [or Creation Science]
    The status of Polar Bears was their example:

    Internet Blogs, Polar Bears, and Climate-Change Denial by Proxy
    BioScience, 68(4), 281–287
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5894087/

    And the good lady got some attention:
    // Science-based and -denier blogs take completely different positions on Arctic ice extent and polar-bear status //
    &
    // Approximately 80% of the denier blogs cited here referred to one particular denier blog, Polar Bear Science, by Susan Crockford, as their primary source of discussion and debate on the status of polar bears. Notably, as of this writing, Crockford has neither conducted any original research nor published any articles in the peer-reviewed literature on the effects of sea ice on the population dynamics of polar bears. //

  6. Important note: the formal launch of the book is next week, in Calgary:
    “Dr Crockford will be discussing population numbers and her new book on the Glenn Beck show on Tuesday 19 March (11am ET). The book will have its official launch event on 10 April at 12:00pm in Calgary in the Centini Restaurant, where Dr Crockford will be on hand to sign copies.”

    That’s 2 blocks from city hall, across the street from Olympic Plaza and Teatro restaurant.

  7. Manatees face new challenge in Florida from harassing, non-native armored catfish. I just want to remind everyone that NO ONE has done more damage to our native habitats than globalists, multinationals, and their fellow travelers. Yet, they constantly flog the GWC propaganda.
