A mathematical analysis for the first time has uncovered the prospect of a sudden, dramatic decline among Canadian polar bears as they starve to death.
“This is much, much different. This is not a gradual change,” said Dr. Andrew Derocher, one of the world’s leading polar bear authorities and co-author of the study. “We’re looking at a decrease by 20 or 30 per cent or even much more in a year.”

“Mathematical analysis” = “computer model” = something that requires absolutely no research.
“Polar bear population could fall by 30 per cent in a year: study”
So could my weight, but neither are likely.
I was just making fun of the “Hugh” by saying “Series” instead of “Serious”.
This is the Obama Peace Prize for white bears.
The article actually states polar bears are at their highest number in 50 years, but computer projections indicate their number might soon decline.
And a 10km diameter neutron star COULD slam into the earth tomorrow at 0.99 times the speed of light, instantly crushing the Earth out of existence (and incidentally killing everyone).
But it’s not likely...
Prevent the polar bears from starving to death!
Shoot them first!!!!
humanely, of course.
I’m betting on wolves out competing them for the food on land.
That’s happening to Griz in the lower 48.
Bears, not so much, the relationship has been rather one-way, and humans are generally on the menu.
I know, canine preference, and ursine discrimination, but 30,000 years is a long time. I'm rooting for the wolves.

Do liberals have opposing thumbs? I mean, has anyone actually checked?
It’s the Health Care, Stupid.
I wasn’t rooting for either side, just accounting for cause and effect, so they quit with the globull warming chant...
Yes, overpopulation. It happens in nature all them time. Eat more polar bear.
Polar Bear biologist at the University of Alberta. Its the only gig that this idiot has, and if he were to admit that the population was growing, his gig might end. So, he hangs his hat on some lame brained computer model that claims if pigs were butterflys, polar bears would be in deep doo doo. What is really amazing is the numbers of earth muffins who continue to sign up for his polar bear safaris. This guy clearly understands that there's a fool born every minute.
I wish the white tail deer population would fall.
I’m sure a generous government grant to his polar bear research fund will save them.
I’m thinking a polar bear Czar may be needed here: Give them a government `paw-up’, re-locate a few couples to Antarctica so they can re-build their lives, give them small business loans, some section VIII federal guaranteed housing, seal stamps, and they’ll be right as rain. Or snow.
But, of course! (slapping forehead) How could I forget?
Where’s Waldo?
“Can’t Acorn come up with some government program for these bears?”
There is no ACORN. Do you mean ACORM, or ACORD, or ACORG, or whatever it’s called now?
