“Polar bears hurt by climate change are more likely to turn to a new food source — humans” is the rather chilling headline WaPo went with in its article, published Thursday. The Post reported that with higher temperatures, “the more likely polar bears are to interact with humans — and possibly attack and eat them.”
WaPo relied on a recently-published study in the Wildlife Society Bulletin that looked at recorded polar bear attacks going back to 1870. The authors found “no trend” in the number of attacks by decade through 2014, which you’d think would count against the claim that bear attacks increase with less ice, but you thought wrong.

You know the main food source of polar bears is the plentiful penguin. There is no need for them to be forced to turn to humans as part of their food chain.
The vast majority of the human race will never get close to the Arctic Circle anyway.

Indeed, some bear populations have been simply devouring certain books, making investigators extremely concerned...

"Develop"???? OF COURSE bears will eat humans! They have been eating us for thousands of years!
(I've heard polar bears think we humans may be less salty than seals, but fat tender liberals are not bad!)

Marlin .45-70 lever-action.

Polar Bears are true carnivores. HUMANS have ALWAYS been on the menu.
This news is utter BULL SHIT.
To: Helicondelta
They could also become zombie polar bears. Somebody should make a B movie with this plot line. call it Bearnado or something like that.
