These Polar Bears Are Swimming For Their Lives
These polar bears look ready for a swim — but there is more to the story.
This beautiful short from Arctic Bear Productions on the GoPro YouTube channel depicts a family of polar bears on their quest to find a place to rest: sea ice.
While this footage is stunning, its message is quite somber. Eventually, the bears reach land, but do not find ice. There’s a reason for this. Polar bears need sea ice to hunt seals — but, because of climate change, this ice is melting.
This may have drastic consequences for the future of the species, who are currently listed as vulnerable on the IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species.
“Due to their long generation time and the current greater speed of global warming, it seems unlikely that polar bear will be able to adapt to the current warming trend in the Arctic,” the IUCN explains.
If climatic trends continue, polar bears face a significant population decline this century.
Well, yes, but, no.
No, the polar bears are not in danger. They can live on, or off ice. And, they’re thriving quite well. As many already know, recently, the crazies who were counting the polar bears have been low-balling the numbers for years. But, we all already knew that.
“As part of past status reports, the PBSG has traditionally estimated a range for the total number of polar bears in the circumpolar Arctic,” PBSG says in its proposed footnote. “Since 2005, this range has been 20-25,000. It is important to realize that this range never has been an estimate of total abundance in a scientific sense, but simply a qualified guess given to satisfy public demand.”
“It is also important to note that even though we have scientifically valid estimates for a majority of the subpopulations, some are dated,” PBSG continues. “Furthermore, there are no abundance estimates for the Arctic Basin, East Greenland, and the Russian subpopulations.”
I went over this a couple of years ago.
But, what about the melting ice?
Here’s the last ten years.
It’s pretty much been the same for the last ten years.

Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings.
I stopped worrying about polar bears years ago. Here is a link to my previous post about them.

90% of all journalists will be wiped out by the end of the decade due to melting gullibility.
He he he he!
Government scientists, Zuckerberg try out some prole control.

Heh. I have an account, but I rarely use it. Anyone I want to follow I can without using an account. Up yours, FB.
Ignore Antarctic sea ice! Point to wildfires instead, or the Californian drought! Or meat-eaters.

The polar bears survived low ice in the past. They are much more resilient than the Huffpo slaves.
Indeed. Polar Bears and Grizzly Bears are ‘kissing’ cousins. Both are bad news if you cross them. 😛

Have fun….
Is this a joke err something?
I don’t know, I dont go there.
I have no idea… BUT the graph looks to be ICE GROWTH in Antarctica?
As seen here.
