So on one hand, there is an unprecedented increase in the population of these bears, and on the other hand, they are starving and in need of being put on the Endangered Species list.
Sounds like bipolar bears to me.

The mother was barbequed and all present said that she tasted just like chicken! LOL - doesn't everything?
I read an article about the day every spring in Barrow when the sun crests for the first time after the winter dark and how it's a celebration. It sounded so interesting (even though I detest the cold.)
Did you get to participate in anything like that?

"Is this good science, or a SUV-as-bear-killer critique of all things American and by extension of the free market?"
Total fabrication. As has been reported on FR, the polar ice is not 'melting'. The claim that it has is based on very spotty measurements of artic ice made by infrequent submarine visits during the cold war. Yes, there is less ice at these specific points, but that only because the ice has been moved to other points. If the same measurements were taken a few miles away, the ice thickness would be unchanged.

I'm confused .. aren't we suppose to be saving the seals? The baby seals taste pretty good. I like them with a little garlic and butter sauce.

"....All five counties that have Polar Bears now give these giants of the north special protection. In 1973, the U.S.S.R, Norway, Greenland, Canada and the United States signed the Oslo Agreement. The agreement tried to do three main things: it hoped to preserve the rights of Eskimos to hunt Polar Bears; it proposed rules to protect cubs and females with cubs and it sought to outlaw the killing of Polar Bears form airplanes and large boats.
The five countries have since passed laws based on the agreement. Except for a few non-native permits issued in Canada, only Eskimos can now hunt Polar Bears. All countries have outlawed the use of airplanes and large boats from hunting the bears. Cubs and females with cubs are protected in all countries except the United States. Eskimos kill about one thousand Polar Bears each year. This is less that in years past."

If you follow the link to the original story, it clearly cites that the report is from
the United Nations Environment Programme You can read the original story that cites the UN "science" here.

Strange... this was from last year. A leading Canadian authority on polar bears, Mitch Taylor, said: "Were seeing an increase in bears thats really unprecedented lol. Would ya stop letting facts get in the way of a good smear? Sheesh.

And the bears, of course, continue to hunt and kill anyone or anything they want.

The centre believes that the rate of retreat is accelerating. Worse still for the bears, the melting is starting earlier, depriving them of seals in the spring, when they have always stocked up on food to see them through the summer. But, but, but... what about this? I'm so confused!
Dramatic changes in the earth's surface temperatures are an ordinary phenomenon, not an anomaly, he said, and result from variations in the sun's energy output and ultraviolet radiation.
