This may come as a shocker to some, but scientists are not always right — especially when under intense public pressure for answers.

Researchers with the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) recently admitted to experienced zoologist and polar bear specialist Susan Crockford that the estimate given for the total number of polar bars in the Arctic was “simply a qualified guess given to satisfy public demand.”

you mean the nuts that last week were tying themselves to trees and falsifying climate data also made up polar bear numbers?

“a qualified guess given to satisfy public demand.”

More like a poorly qualified guess by poorly qualified "scientists" for unqualified reasons.

[shotgun]

I think that was done in the Gifford Pinchot Nat’l forest in Washington State. They were trying to keep some logging from happening and the “biologist” took the hair samples from the endangered critter and “salted” a few sites to establish its habit/ranges...

[Lady Jag]

They lie.

It’s not important how the numbers were arrived, or where they came from, but the content that we must be emotionally attached to. </s> {a play off of Dan Rather}

To quote a 9-year-old my daughter babysat for...

drum roll please...

“Is it true if I leave the lights on a polar bear will die?”

Yup. Exact quote.

Hey, keep those government schools funded. Where would we be without them?

“Scientists Admit Polar Bear Numbers Were Made Up To ‘Satisfy Public Demand’”...........

It isn’t only polar bear numbers that are bogus, just about every report the current administration pushes forward are bogus. Doe anyone trust them?

CORRECTION: A made-up number to suit the POLITICAL AGENDA...

They destroyed science for their own political benefit.

[familyop]

The polar bears are in southern Ontario and mainland Norway. That’s where to find them and count them.

Should think public demand would be for the truth,but maybe that depends on which “public” you are.

Science is so modernized.

Global warming would have been
much worse, if there had not
been so much cool weather.

Health care improvement would
have been much greater, if only
so many people had not died.

This kind of logic, is what
passes for Science today.

So what he is saying, is that they came to some sort of consensus.

Isn't that the same kind of consensus that several hundred years ago said the sun revolved around the earth?

Isn't that the same kind of consensus that several hundred years ago said the sun revolved around the earth?

Well, at least those who believed that could point out that it looks that way. After all, you don't feel the Earth moving, do you, and the sun obviously moves. Who are you going to believe, Galileo or your own eyes?
