Exciting news about polar bears in eastern Canada: a new the peer-reviewed paper concludes that despite sea ice having declined since the 1970s, polar bear numbers in Davis Strait have not only increased to a greater density than other seasonal-ice subpopulations, but it may now have reached its ‘carrying capacity.’ This is great news. But where is the shouting from the roof-tops? This peer-reviewed paper was published February 19, 2013. No press release was issued that I could find and consequently, there was no news coverage. Funny, that.—Susan Crockford, Polar Bear Science, 10 June 2013

Just a few comments.
1. Polar bears live in an ice desert and are very good at finding warm blooded mammals for prey.
2. Polar bears can SWIM for miles in the open ocean.
3. Polar bears are not stupid. Polar bears follow the food whether it’s afloat, at sea, or shore.
4. It is difficult to drown a polar bear because their fat makes them naturally buoyant in sea water.
Arctic sea ice is at near record levels. Check weatherbell.com or realscience.com and, polar bears are perfectly happy on shore. Ask the guys that work at Prudhoe Bay.
They work for big oil so we know they lie. LOL! I heard they were shorts most of the time now it’s so warm. And, yes, I’ve seen the graphs and sat photos.
