I am not an expert but to have different bears around the ship continuously for weeks hints to me that there are bloody millions of the things.

in the early 2000s you'd constantly see propaganda around the polar bears, showing pictures of a polar bear grasping onto a piece of floating ice, basically insinuating that they were dying off because ice was melting and they couldn't survive. the actual truth, of course, was that polar bears are territorial, and their numbers were getting so high that some were pushed beyond the boundaries of their typical habitation. its hilarious

Over the last 10,000 years, the average temperature was 12 degrees warmer. It was 12 degrees warmer for thousands of years. The polar bears did not die. We know this about the temperature and atmosphere from testing Ice Cores from Greenland. Therefore we also know the glaciers did not melt. Places like England were not underwater. There was no heat feedback loop turning us into Venus. Global Warming alarmists predict the temperature might go up between .5 and 2 degrees.

*Three stages of truth* : First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. *Thomas Francklin* “Falsehood will fly, as it were, on the wings of the wind, and carry its tales to every corner of the earth; whilst truth lags behind; her steps, though sure, are slow and solemn.” *J Edgar Hoover* - Dir FBI “The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.” *William Colby* - Dir CIA (on Project Mockingbird) “The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” *Douglas Valentine* - Author: The CIA as Organized Crime "Pressures the CIA exerts on the media equals political warfare against the American public." *William Casey* - Dir CIA “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” *James Angleton* - Dir CIA - Counter-Intelligence “Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the State.” *Harry S Truman* - US President “I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in 1947, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.” *Joseph Goebbels* - Nazi Propaganda Minister “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” “This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.” “...the rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious.” “Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.” *Wikipedia* - Big Lie A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." Hitler’s use of the expression: All this was inspired by the principle-which is quite true within itself-that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. United States Office of Strategic Services report on Hitler's psychological profile: His primary rules were: - never allow the public to cool off - never admit a fault or wrong - never concede that there may be some good in your enemy - never leave room for alternatives - never accept blame - concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it. *Wikipedia* - Gell-Mann amnesia effect The Gell-Mann amnesia effect is a theoretical psychological phenomenon, the term itself being coined by author, film producer and academic Michael Crichton after discussions with Nobel-Prize winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann. Originally described in Crichton's "Why Speculate?" speech, the Gell-Mann amnesia effect labels a commonly observed problem in modern media, where one will believe everything they read from a journalist even after they come across an article about something they know well that is completely incorrect. The conclusions found and perspectives portrayed by the author are entirely erroneous, often times flipping the cause and the effect. Crichton notes these as "wet streets cause rain" stories. In short, most eloquently put by Thomas L. McDonald, the Gell-Mann amnesia effect defines the idea that "I believe everything the media tells me except for anything for which I have direct personal knowledge, which they always get wrong." Recorded cases of this phenomenon are rare. One example is that of C. S. Lewis (who did not know of this phenomenon but nevertheless has a case of it). After reading biographical interpretations of his own works and realizing how incorrect they could be, he began to read other biographical interpretations with more caution, aware not to accept everything stated at face value. Michael Crichton concluded in the same essay that there is absolutely no value in the media, as society continues to seek information from the same source that was entirely wrong on the topic in which one retains expertise. He then says that "the only explanation for our behavior is amnesia". Christopher Hitchens once referenced this phenomenon in a town hall speech with the example of the Washington Post, saying that, although things are often biased and incorrect, he and a large portion of the audience continue to get their news in that way.

Climate science moves forward by hypothesis and testing (and intrinsic, robust skepticism), not consensus (shared opinion). Science’s reason for existence is to expand our knowledge via rigorous debate and critique, not by shared opinions (consensus). As author Michael Crichton put it, "If it's science, it's not consensus. And if it's consensus, it's not science." Scientific consensus is worse than any religion in that its dogma is much more inflexible. The church had the inquisition; liberal scientific consensus uses the denial of peer review to maintain its dogma.

Our CO2 production didn't really start to boom until the mid 1900s.

I loved the prediction that was made a few months ago from a Climate alarmist talk in Minnesota. She calmly predicted, “Duluth has seen its last minus 10 degree day.” 7 days later the temperature in Duluth was minus 31 degrees. The dreaded Polar Vortex, which we used to call “winter”, descended on the country in Late January and it decided to stay for a while. The arctic ice cap was above average for a while, then it was below average for a while. It’s almost as if there is natural fluctuation, combined with long term cycles, combined with medium and short term cycles, combined with earth’s axis wobble, combined with volcanic activity, combined with sun activity, etc. The only thing real scientists can categorically state right now is that climate is incredibly complex with a huge number of variables.

The real inconvenient truth. Gore, I know this has made you extremely wealthy but time to admit you were not accurate. I guess we can't argue with belief.

So out of date. Polar ice is still melting whatever you say.

[@paulmarchant9231]

Bullshit..... Go there, but take some very insulating clothing

[@adoptcolorado6620]

Truth denier. Ice is getting thicker, melting at edges but growing elsewhere. Never melted on the South pole. It's called grand solar minimum.

I didn't watch the video but I assume that it is about the rising number of polar bears and the danger that they pose to the Inuit.

[@cmilford1969]

Just the fact that she is able to say these things without being fired means the tide is changing on this issue.

[@12artman]

I'd never thought of this but greater sea ice extent might mean there is less prey for polar bears. Less sea ice would actually cause populations of polar bears to increase due to more greater availability and number of prey. There must be a balance with a mean that's optimal for populations of both prey and predator. This is my "duh" moment!

[@swiftlytiltingplanet8481]

The truth comes out when she admits at the 23:25 point that the bear population has recovered due to new regulations on hunting. And I quote: "It's what populations of marine mammals do when unregulated hunting is stopped." In fact, the data agrees: the bear population has grown since regulations were enacted in the late 70s and then tightened further in some areas in the early 2000s.

[@charltonblake9967]

Wow, been watching Blue Planet 2 and every time they drone on about how bad a warming Earth is the more I wonder how that could be the case. It turns out ice sucks for life. No surprise there. I look forward to more of the Earth becoming tropical.

[@swiftlytiltingplanet8481]

Yes, and you can watch New York and all of the other coastal cities of the world drown as sea levels rise from melting ice caps. What a joy.

[@duckpuddles]

Polar bears have lived and adapted through many thousands/millions of years of changing environment. There have been much hotter times and much colder times. Even I as a frail human have just been skiing in Finland at minus 50 degrees C and then later gone to Egypt at plus 50 degrees C, and I survived the 100 degree difference.

[@proudhon100]

The Arctic climate has not changed all that much in three million years, until now. You cn survive such a huge temperature chaneg because you can put on a coat, or turn on the air con. Food crops like wheat can't do that, and humans are going to be in trouble when the crops decline and fail.

[@swiftlytiltingplanet8481]

Don't miss the critical point, though. At the 23:25 mark in the video, the scientist gives the reason why the bear population has rebounded, and I quote verbatim: "It's what populations of marine mammals do when unregulated hunting is stopped." Five countries agreed to sharply limit bear hunting in the late 70s. In some areas, these restrictions were tightened in the early 2000s. It's important to hear ALL of the information before leaping to judgements.

[@davidmcintosh3468]

Wow! True science is wonderful!

[@keith7976]

See the comments are the usual standard. Here is what the New York Times says about this woman : "The researchers also singled out Polar Bear Science, a blog run by Susan J. Crockford, a Canadian zoologist, as a primary source of dubious information about the status of polar bears. About 80 percent of the contrarian websites that the researchers studied referred to Dr. Crockford’s blog as a primary source, they said."

[@TheJwbooth]

Excellent presentation. How long has it been since most Americans walked to school and got to experience sandstorm abrasion, frostbite, sunburn and drenching rain on a regular basis? People who have never experienced weather will easily fall for a hoax about the climate. You see them protesting on beautiful spring days without a hint of irony

[@richardcovello5367]

What she is really saying is most federally funded scientists know on which side their bread is buttered, and will endorse any myth that encourages a continuation, and hopefully an increase in their bread and butter supply.

How much longer till the Hudson Bay is thawed? The prairie provinces are landlocked as we speak. If the Northern Polar caps are melting then the Hudson Bay must be open all year round now and the 3 prairie provinces could separate.

Was it Sun Tzu? Im sure someone said about creating emergencies to unite the people. In this case, for money.

[@stephenverchinski409]

Did not the increase have a bit to do with hunting pressure dropping?

[@wdtaut5650]

She makes the point at least twice that lack of hunting is a factor.

[@rs-bi8yf]

huh ? how did that happen ?

[@BrettonFerguson]

"The Polar Bear group members objected" .Of course they did. They were losing their jobs. They couldn't move on to a different animal, because all other cute endangered animals already have advocacy groups. The average temperature over the last 10,000 year was 12 degrees warmer than today. We know this from studying ice cores from the glaciers in Greenland. It was 12 degrees warmer for thousands of years, the ice did not melt, the polar bears did not die.

[@fintincollins5103]

I thought that the important time for poler bear's was the spring. As that is when the seals have their pups, so the summer was always the lean time for the polar bear. Funny how they pick on the summer as most people don't understand how thing's work up their.

[@alvinlee55]

I may sound a little cynical, but there is a lot of funding for bearers of climate doom. With your research, funding for some polar bear experts will disappear. Evan - NZ

[@corilemky4247]

The number of cubs a female bear of any type will have in any given year is directly governed by the amount of food she can get . Bears in all areas are on the increase . The only exception is the grisly its not an efficient scavenger. Unlike the black bear and polar bear

Ok, 3rd comment. The USGS study, Durner et al was not basing its results on sea ice extent in toto for Summer, but on "optimal polar bear habitat" area. You may, or may not, want to read the paper that was not linked for you in the video description: west-inc.com/reports/big_game/Durner2008USGSPolarBearHabitatLowres.pdf

[@Deontjie]

Time to hand the welfare of polar bears to us Africans.

[@rhammond2152]

There was a decrease of the population going on for decades. No one argues that, and it's mostly all due to HUNTING. Once you established laws to prevent that, the population went into a upward direction. At some point in twenty years, I actually expect reports to indicate so many polar bears....that they are a threat now to other species of animals, and humans, with hunting them prescribed in order to correct the 'problem'.

[@israelwolstein9351]

Well, The population of polar bear has risen by a lot in the past 14 years and it's not necessarily good news if they keep increasing. Most of them live in a fragile ecosystem where a sharp rise of a top predators like Bears can unsettle the balance. "Since 2005, however, the estimated global polar bear population has risen by more than 30% to about 30,000 bears, far and away the highest estimate in more than 50 years" That sounds like good news but when you consider that in the 50s, the polar bear population was down under 5000, you can see where an increase of well over 600% can be bad news...

[@grantmyers7593]

In other words... these fools don't even fully understand the Polar Bear life cycle, including the life cycles of their favored prey. How is it they expect us to believe they can accurately predict something as complex as climate if they can't do a simple food web cycle???
