Professor Susan Crockford, a zoologist and evolutionary biologist at the University of Victoria, Canada, reports that polar bears have successfully adapted to severe climate change many times in the past and will likely adapt to future climate change, as well.
While common sense tells us that people concerned about global warming should welcome Crockford’s findings, expect the merchants of doom and gloom to ignore or go on the attack against the evolutionary biologist’s findings.
Crockford, who has been published many times in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, presented the evidence for polar bear resilience last night at a public lecture at the University of Toronto. Her talk built upon several scientific papers she has written on the subject.
“We tend to hear nothing but alarming messages about the current status and future welfare of polar bears from animal advocates of all kinds, including lobby groups and activist scientists,” Crockford said in a press release announcing her public lecture. “Many of these tales of imminent doom, however, have important facts left out, glossed over or misrepresented – and much of the uncertainty in the underlying research has been downplayed.”
IDEA!! Let the grieving greenies got north and hand feed the poor starving polar bears and nurse them back to health!
Reports from those researching the known Polar Bear populations all report them as growing. The truth is that the “Endangerment Finding” is worth MILLIONS to sleazy (and in some cases, stupidly well-meaning) organizations selling stuffed plush toys raising money to “save” the bears and, in turn, stuff their pockets with a 25 to one markup on sales vs cost.
Utterly shamefull!!!
