Polar bear population could fall by 30 per cent in a year: study (This is Hugh!)

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.”

Use the dead polar bear bodies to “plug the hole”! Both problems solved.

The story, not a science based study, is by an environmental group that bases its belief off of global warming trend analysis of our Climate Gate Gang of Hockey Stick Players.

The main foundation of their fantasy is a reduced living area of the polar bears. That is turning around this year.

The earth is heading into a solar minimum or a mini-ice age based on sunspot activity models from 1600 to 1830.

...one of the world’s leading polar bear authorities...

Universities are full of these people.

They have the time to do this "research" because they don't have real jobs.

They present these "studies" that extrapolate data based on probability and statistics to come to some "conclusion." These "conclusions" are based on GUESSES for many variables that are unknown. The conclusions have a probability attached to them. The variables they guessed at can steer the probability high or low depending on the sensitivities.

It is important to note they do not tell us the probability of this mass polar bear death event. I'd bet it is very very low.

In short, these studies are MEANINGLESS because they are simply probable predictions with less weight than a prediction I will win the next Powerball Lottery jackpot.
