This new estimate for 2018 is a modest 4-6 fold increase over the 10,000 or so bears that existed in the 1960s 

-Susan Crockford.

One of the most frequent myths we hear about polar bears is that their numbers are increasing and have, in fact, more than doubled over the past thirty years. Tales about how many polar bears there used to be (with claims as low as 5,000 in the 1960s) are undocumented, but cited over and over again. Yet no one I know can come up with a legitimate source for these numbers.

One Russian extrapolation presented in 1956 suggested a number of 5,000 to 8,000, but that figure was never accepted by scientists. The fact is that in the 1960s we had no idea how many polar bears there were.

Hmmmm.

Who was Attenborough counting on for Polar Bear information?

http://www.thegwpf.org/david-attenborough-accused-of-misleading-public-about-polar-bears-again/

"In last night’s wildlife TV series Seven Worlds, One Planet David Attenborough and the BBC once again misled the public in a most egregious way.
 
"In the programme, Sir David made false claims, used emotionally manipulative language and blatantly misrepresented several natural biological processes and habitat conditions as the effects of human-caused climate change.

Contrary to David Attenborough’s claim, summers are not a time of starvation for polar bears. The bears shown hunting beluga whales from the shore of Hudson Bay were neither starving nor desperate: they were already fat and healthy after feeding on young seal in spring.
 
Contrary to Attenborough’s claim, the behaviour shown of polar bears hunting belugas from shore in summer is not extraordinary, is not confined to this area of the Canadian Arctic and has not ‘only been reported in recent years.’ In fact, similar hunting strategies by polar bears have been reported at least since the 1980s.
 
Rather than a new behaviour born of climate-change induced desperation, this is a relatively rare but not unheard-of hunting strategy by healthy polar bears."

Given that Attenborough previously narrated a documentary including footage of polar bears hunting Beluga, somebody has their wires crossed. I know where my money is.

(Perhaps take this sideshow to a separate thread?)

tomo, that BBC page gives this choice -

Charly

for me it took several visits to read and check out the links I wouldn't have bothered past a skim and a sigh ... but - these people have the raw audience numbers and their miserable drivel is built on out across the BBC - even to the grimmest BBC local radio outpost - and I do like to know what the enemy thinks they can get away with. I hear the BBC's corporate bilge parroted by rather too many people who should know better.

I see they dropped 'ole dope smoking blackface in it with DJT - GOOD. I wonder what the recipients of Justin's generosity in the Canadian media make of it?

Apparently Hunter Biden is "off limits" but 13 year old BarronTrump is a legitimate target?

Dec 4, 2019 at 8:47 PM | Registered Commentertomo

Hunter Biden ordered by Arkansas court to produce 5 years of financial records - I doubt Adam Schiff will subpoena them and then publish them ....

Nancy Pelosi comes quite close to losing it in public....

Nancy's under a lot of stress you know, I want to believe that there is more to her - that there is more to her than the conceited mediocrity who's lined her pockets from her public position of influence. I do not see much evidence for anything beyond shallow insincere posturing and conniving mendacity from a politician who as far as I can see has done little but stay in post largely due to tribal voting.

Having watched and read quite a bit of madam's output - she reminds me in some ways of our own Harriet Harman.

She needs to adjust those eyebrows down about 3/4" and get a better dental fixative..

Heh, check out the polls for her freshman Democrats. Instead of getting Trump out of the executive, she's giving him the legislative.
