H. S. For Sunday 083108

Only One Problem.

Hey folks,

THEY ARE NOT IN DANGER! Neither are we, the spotted owl, the Caribou, or anything else. But ESPIECALLY not the Polar Bear.

You know how I get with the whole GWBS thing. That is what it is. BS. The ice is not melting, the world is not ending, there is no threat. Hell, we are not even WARMING anymore. That cycle is complete and we are now going to start cooling. {Sigh}

This week, in the Health and Science segment, we see that there are still some out there that want to use these cute, stuffed animal looking, Polar Bears, to continue to spread the lie. But the problem is, they are not in danger.

Remember back on April 28, 2008, I posted this. OPNTalk - Polar Bears Increasing Population, We Need A New Victim.

For a while now we keep hearing that the Polar Bears are facing extinction, and it’s all YOUR fault. We have been told that the ice caps are melting and the Polar Bears will starve to death. We have seen fake pictures, PROVEN to be fake, now MOVIE excerpts from the movie “Day After Tomorrow” being PROVEN to be depicted as REAL in Al Gore’s movie, “An Inconvenient Truth.” To school kids being FORCED into watching what more and more people are coming out and telling us is complete BS. The kids are being SCARED into going home and telling their parents that THEY MUST DO something. The poor old Polar Bears are dying because we are killing them.

There is only one problem / The Polar Bears are NOT becoming extinct. They are actual GROWING in numbers.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that the polar bear population is currently at 20,000 to 25,000 bears, up from as low as 5,000-10,000 bears in the 1950s and 1960s. A 2002 U.S. Geological Survey of wildlife in the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain noted that the polar bear populations “may now be near historic highs.” The alarm about the future of polar bear decline is based on speculative computer model predictions many decades in the future. And the methodology of these computer models is being challenged by many scientists and forecasting experts.

So just like all the other GWBS, even in the light of the FACTS and REALITY, some want to continue to use the Polar Bear as a sign of GW. According to Reuters - Canada wants more study on polar bear protection By Allan Dowd

INUVIK, Northwest Territories (Reuters) - Canada, criticized by environmentalists for not adequately protecting polar bears from the effects of climate change, said on Thursday it will take more time study its next step.

A scientific panel on Thursday released detailed findings of an April review that classified the bear population as a "special concern," but not endangered or threatened with extinction.

The government has created a national round table to consult with a variety of groups, including residents of the Arctic, on how best to protect the bears, Environment Minister John Baird said.

"Protecting the polar bears is something we are committed to, but we going to base it on science and with input and collaboration with Inuit and northern people," Baird told reporters in Inuvik, Northwest Territories.

Canada is home to about two-thirds of the world's 25,000 polar bears.

The animal is the symbol of the country's vast northern region, with the metal of Northwest Territories' license plates even stamped in its silhouette.

The United States said in May it was listing polar bears as a threatened species. Baird said Canada was cooperating with U.S. officials on studying how best to protect the animals.

Some green groups say Canada falls short by not matching the U.S. declaration, which was prompted by fears that global warming was destroying the ice needed by the bears to survive.

But Canada's Arctic Inuit people say the bear population is not in as much trouble as some fear, with the most serious problems more localized in nature, and they complain further restrictions on hunting will hurt their communities.

Designating the polar bears as threatened would require prohibitions like bans on hunting and destruction of habitat.

The U.S. Geological Survey said last September that two thirds of the world's polar bears could be gone by mid-century if predictions of melting sea ice in the Arctic hold true.

BUT THEY ARE NOT TRUE! That is the point. Idiots! The ice is not melting. The Polar Bears are increasing, and the people that actually LIVE there, KNOW IT. That is why they do not care about Scaryence and lies. They are there. They can see with their own eyes. They could not care less about "What ifs" and "Could bes." They want FACTS and TRUTH. They want REAL Science.

Of course, this does not sit well with those that do not care about truth or facts, just furthering agendas. I applaud Canada. Create any panels you want. Discuss the issues. Seek out the FACTS. You will find that you have no need to kowtow to these Morons. Remain true to yourselves, and in the end, you will be proven right.

Be right back.
