Discovery’s “Frozen Planet” updated in 2011 continues to pretend polar bear populations are dwindling and the polar ice caps are melting.
They do this in the full knowledge of the HUGE increases in Polar Bear populations over the last 50 years and the lack of any warming over the last 12 years.
Then go on to explain how the OIL COMPANIES don’t really mind the melt and the warming.....because it make their operations easier......
These clowns don’t give a damn about the truth or science.
They have an agenda to damn capitalism, energy production, and population growth, as evils that must be overcome.
In the arctic North Slope, Alaska, heavy loads including drill rigs can only be moved around during the winter ice season when the weight bearing capabilities are high. You can not move a rig to a new area to explore drilling except in the winter.
The winters have become overburden with traffic trying to move in equipment and years supply of chemicals and the like to some sites.
Never worked in that area but have friends that have and they say warm conditons make things much worse. When it melts everything get stuck or bogged.
