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

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.”

Okay. Whoever it was that "demanded" in public, a bogus number showing polar bears dying by the millions needs to fess up. "...to satisfy public demand." WTH?

It’s great to know that I live in a world of liars lying to morons.

Mankind has ceased to impress.

Yes, but their INTENTIONS were good. s/

You don’t suppose that legions of “political” scientists are making up glowbull warming? They wouldn’t do that. Would they?

[fhayek]

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

[Gaffer]

Hmmmmmm. The equivalent of lying on your thesis, cheating on our finals, and plagiarism......

Seems to me like that’s plenty of reason nullify any degrees bestowed upon them.

We all know it’s not gonna happen, but it’s okay - they did it for a “good cause”. Even if the facts didn’t support their “the science is settled” arguments.

In a perfect world, these people would be lined up in front of a wall and offered one last cigarette (or a doobie as they’d likely prefer).

Goin to see the Doobie Brothers in Aug up at Lake Tahoe. That’s the kind of Doobies I like. :>}

[Huskrrrr]

Excellent points! I know of a few academicians who are now “consultants” due to publishing false data or plagiarism.

[originalbuckeye]

Not to mention the plethora of Doctors and medical science fraud.........

[spokeshave]

Polar bears are doing just fine....

[falcon99]

Liberal “scientists” are not real scientists. They are nothing more than lackeys pushing the liberal agenda and making up or falsifying data to support their thesis. Liberals have corrupted every aspect of life that they have touched.

[hal ogen]

These people aren’t “scientists”...they are frauds and should be thrown out of their positions, shunned and exiled.

The GAME MUST continue... until it's DONE..
UNless the elite political class is pulled down...

I would say it is safe to infer tha global warming is made up to satisfy public demand. Hahahahahahahaha.

[Sacajaweau]

Unbelievable. That' makes everything lese a lie.

Remember the one where they had hair on a tree...some kind of rare fox maybe?? They got caught on that one, too.

We need more condors like we need Michelle's lunch demands.

Last line: “All this glosses over what I think is a critical point: none of these ‘global population estimates’ (from 2001 onward) came anywhere close to being estimates of the actual world population size of polar bears (regardless of how scientifically inaccurate they might have been) — rather, they were estimates of only the subpopulations that Arctic biologists have tried to count,” she added.

“simply a qualified guess given to satisfy public demand.”

You mean Wal Mart was out of polar bears? Was there a run on polar bears that I didnt know about?

[tcrlaf]

“a qualified guess given to satisfy public demand.”

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