here's something on polar bears
shows
1. "Canada's Western Hudson Bay population has dropped 22% since the early 1980s. The declines have been directly linked to an earlier ice break-up on Hudson Bay."
and
2. "In the 1960s and 1970s, hunting was the major threat to the bears. At the time, polar bears were under such severe survival pressure from hunters that a landmark international accord was reached, despite the tensions and suspicions of the Cold War. The International Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears was signed in Oslo, November 15, 1973 by the five nations with polar bear populations: Canada, Denmark (Greenland, Norway, the U.S., and the former U.S.S.R."
just as I said.

The Bear Facts
Xenox, you're killing me! You're absolutely killing me! I thought the imminent demise of the polar bear was one of the key "evidences" of "global warming." Corbin just presented you with evidence that flatly contradicts it, and all you can write in response is, "I haven't studied this but I would suppose that the increase in their numbers might be attributed to a decrease in hunting."?
So you admit that this key "evidence," one that is served up with so much emotional hype by the global warmers is in fact false.
And you think that only American industry has any role in greenhouse gas emissions? Never heard of the burning of rain forests, the massive pollutuion in China and other developing economies, or any other sources, have you?
One Emoticon Hammer coming right up, Xenox!

CORBIN'S RESPONS VIS A VIS PLAR BEARS?
I haven't studied this but I would suppose that the increase in their numbers might be attributed to a decrease in hunting.

i will look into what you have linked to here
refering to Greenland -- it's ice cores that go back hundreds of thousands of years -- those who have analyzed them say that there is evidence that this is the warmest period during all that time.
but I will get back to you.
maybe youir oil industry buddies shouild sue National Geogarphic for the article they did on Global Warming abouit a year or so ago. It has to higly inaccurate, right?

THE OIL INDUSTRY THANKS YOU PURVEYOR OF DARKNESS
as does all Americna industry.
now they can go ahead and do what they've always been doing
and we can certainly rest assured that what they do will not change the climate in any way
we are certain of that are we?
the Chambers of Commerce will certainly give you an award of some sort.

Zheng Hee? Who he?
Well, he was the Chinese admiral who sailed all around the Arctic (as well as most of the then known world ) in 1421 (?)and whaddya think?
He didn't see any ice.
From 1865 to 1914, mean temperatures actually fell ; and this during the peak of dirty coal burning. I wonder why.
Eastern Antartica's actually getting colder. Funny, isn't it?
Bit of a bummer for all those fruit growers in California, where billions have trees have been killed by frost, isn't it? They thought it was getting warmer.
But, see, we've gotta have something to scare us to death, haven't we?
Great post, thanks.

I notice that you dn't hear anything from Xeno.....on the Polar Bears......
Environmental lobbyists have taken a long leap of logic to posit that human-caused global warming will melt most of the ice at the North Pole within 50 years and that without the ice, polar bears will be unable to survive as a species, says H. Sterling Burnett, senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis.
Fortunately, both for policy and the polar bears, anecdotal stories about polar bear cannibalism and drowning do not reflect the population trend as a whole:
- Since the 1970s, while the world was warming, polar bear numbers increased dramatically from around 5,000 to as many as 25,000 today.
- Historically, polar bears have thrived in temperatures even warmer than at present -- during the medieval warm period 1,000 years ago and during the Holocene Climate
- Optimum between 5,000 and 9,000 years ago.
In fact, Mitchell Taylor, a biologist with Nunavut Territorial government in Canada, pointed out in testimony to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that modest warming may be beneficial to bears since it creates better habitats for its main food sources. Further, Taylor thinks that where polar bear weight and numbers are declining, arctic warming isn't the cause, but rather too many bears are competing for food.
Ironically, says Burnett, the World Wildlife Fund, while arguing that polar bears are at risk from global warming, presented data that actually bolsters Taylor's theory:
- According to the WWF there are 22,000 polar bears in about 20 distinct populations worldwide.
- Of those 20, only two populations -- accounting for 16.4 percent of the total number of bears -- are decreasing, and they are in areas where air temperatures have actually fallen.
