Scientists link greenhouse gas emissions to polar bear population declines

Planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions pose a direct threat to the survival of polar bears — by limiting their access to the sea ice that serves as their hunting grounds, a new study has found.

During ice-free summer months, the bears must fast, which in worst-case scenarios mean adults could die and, before then, lose the ability to successfully raise cubs, according to the study, published Thursday in the journal Science.

The first-of-its-kind research quantifies the amount of ice-free days caused by specific amounts of emissions, as well as associated polar bear survival rates and declining trends in some subpopulations.

I thought this polar bear stuff was BS?

Last I heard, polar bear populations were increasing.

Scientists are the clergy of the 21st century.

...a new study has found

Words that should curdle the blood of every taxpayer.

Well put!

I don;t believe it, send all these scientists to live in tents with the polar bears for a year, when they report back in we will see what they have to say.

True. The rabid leftists at The Hill--which should be renamed The Dump , because that's what it is, are a little late on this. The climatistas have alreasy moved on to penguins. But they are OK too. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/08/the-penguins-are-ok.php

.

It is.
They even recycle the decades-old photos.

I’m a scientist and I link dumb ass government policies to millions of dead people.

How about establishing a ferry service to move them to Antartica each year (and back)??

[bort]

This is bullshit.

Scientists link greenhouse gas emissions to polar bear population declines ... in a bid for increased grant money.

[freefdny]

I just want to live in a world where polar bears and penguins can live side by side in harmony again. Damn humans with their man made climate change.

A winner and a keeper

From the article title: "Scientists link greenhouse gas emissions to polar bear population declines."

Well then they're not scientists.

The polar bear population is in a serious negative decline and has been ever since they were declared nearly extinct due to AGW.

I can create a model that links the consumption of tacobell burittos to the drop in IQ among liberals!

so what! !!?!?!?!

[fuzzylogic]

I thought the last ‘scientist’ that made this claim was found guilty of scientific fraud.

[Murder of Crows]

Exactly. There are more polar bears today than there was yesterday, last week, last month, last year and over the past 60 years.
