There are more Polar Bears now than 50 years ago (look it up!); It’s been cooling now for the past 10 years; Co2 levels are a leading indicator to temperature, not lagging. The UN has been “cherry picking” the data for years to support their political agenda, which is the wealth transfer from the developed countries to the underdeveloped countries (i.e. dictators). Follow the money!

”Some members of the press take advantage of the complexity by stating that “polar bears are not in trouble—their numbers have doubled since the 1960s.” That’s a disingenuous statement, of course. It is true that polar bear populations rebounded after over-hunting was restricted, but that situation has nothing to do with the threat polar bears now face: the loss of the sea ice habitat essential to their survival.”
I have the same trouble with people questioning elephant populations throughout Africa.
With hunting restrictions in place, better anti-poaching policies, a morotorium on the ivory trade (relaxed breifly with major implications recently), elephant numbers have rebounded successfully in a number of countries. In others where no such conservation practices are kept, their numbers fall.
South Africa regularly culls its elephants because of its conservation policies have largely been successful. But it does not mean it doesn’t require continued protection or more elsewhere. In fact, with more abundant game and with the advent of private hunting game farms assisting greatly with conservation in SA, poaching has even increased.
Same for the polar bears. Conservation policies has meant their numbers increased substantially since the ’60s.
Read the full picture for the bears as a whole, not the relative stories of one group of bears in one or a few areas.
