- Go to News Media Caught Lying about Polar Bear Population
TOTAL POLAR BEAR POPULATION IS NOT THE ISSUE
It's Hudson's Bay, Bering Strait -- other places where the local population is stressed due to less sea ice due to warmer temperatures.
I would suppose that, across Alaska and Canada the population is healthy, partly due to conservation actions. But that has nothing to do with the declines due to warmer temperatures.
And, regarding climate -- you just have to go the NOAA and get the total picture and the real facts, not what a few isolated persons come up with.

Re: and of course you don't address the rest of the article that shows climate
Sorry I disappointed you, but I only had so much time for the story. Tell you what - because you're such a nice person and such a dedicated reader (heck, I make more money from you reading my blogs than the oil companies pay me for denying "global warming"!
), I'll dig back into that article as time allows.

Re: It's not about the entire polar population -- that is an extensive thing
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You are the first "global warming" devotee I know of to actually state the facts of the matter! Well done, my good Xenox! 
So then - it is not the entire polar bear population, but only that in Hudson's Bay that is in danger. Will you not agree with me then that the scientists and news media alike were wrong to make us all think is was the entire population when it fact it was not?
Checkmate.

clear through Canada and Alaska, and, I suppose Europe and Asia.
The population at risk is in Hudson's Bay, where shorter cold season is threatening their ability to fish, thus successfully raise young. There is where the population is in decline.
Again you warp the issue.
