So much for the declining polar bear population

Sorry but it’s video however only 10 minutes. An alleged expert (I can’t vouch for the veracity of this) but this is about polar bears and apparently most are doing pretty dam well. The expert also has a blog linked below with some interesting facts.

Some snippets from the video.

The prediction that two thirds of polar bears will be be gone by 2050, is completely wrong [my paraphrase]

The two ‘scientists’ who pushed the decline of polar bear agenda based on lowered sea ice, are both now retired but refuse to acknowledge the evidence that they were completely wrong [my paraphrase]

Thanks for this, Pat. Good news, if accurate, especially to a bear-worshipper like me. These reports seem to be coming from the ‘no-climate-emergency’ camp, from their internal style, and certain associations of the personnel. Always necessary to remember that the antis have their own confirmation biases, just like the pros.

But that said, there does seem to be some genuine observational science going on here, by a specialist in such animals; real science which, as it turns out, fits with the antis’ thesis. Most welcome news to me, this newly-coined sceptic about the whole ‘climate emergency’ narrative.* Especially since over-riding cosmological cycles between Sun and Earth decree that we should be heading into a cooling period over the next decade or so; not to mention that, according to the Milankovitch Cycles doctrine, we’re in an Ice Age already, but undergoing one of their usual Warm Period punctuations. Complex. Very obviously, cautious, non-stampedable scepticism, with minds wide open to ALL possibilities, is the right stance to take: No hectoring dogmatism allowed…


*There seems to have been a great upwelling of blanket scepticism about everything the ‘expert’ technocrats and scientists are saying, as the enormity of the covid/poison-stab swindle has sunk in to peoples’ consciousness these past two-three years. Certainly happened to me. And it feels like a great liberation: suddenly suspecting that all the horrors I was indoctrinated with in childhood and youth (without ever, as I now realise, doing my own sceptical deep checks before swallowing) are actually looking more like will-o-the-wisps conjured by shysters-on-the-make, rather than any real, terrifyingly-imminent danger…

Speculating aloud:

Might it be the case that researchers into such things carry out their studies at a time of year when the risk of dying of exposure is a little lower, i.e. when the cold is a bit less severe? Might that not be a bit unrepresentative? Kind of like positioning weather stations in heat sink areas? What would I know.

As Crockford says, link below, the dratted BBC hugely amplified the alarm in the person of David Attenborough. Superb production values and an establishment accent will get the flimsiest story admitted to the hallowed halls of Truth.
