It's great that the polar bears numbers are increasing to the point that the local inuit tribes are calling for polar bear control now.

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) is a UK-based think tank founded by climate change denialist Nigel Lawson with the purpose of combating what the foundation describes as extremely damaging and harmful policies designed to mitigate climate change. The group was established on November 22, 2009, just three days after the first set of Climategate emails were released on the University of Tomsk's server. [1], [2]

ClimateDepot.com is the website of Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow employee Marc Morano, a conservative global warming denier who previously served as environmental communications director for a vocal political denier of climate change, Republican Sen. James Inhofe. Launched in spring 2009, Climate Depot claimed it would be "the Senate EPW website on steroids," and "the most comprehensive information center on climate news and the related issues of environment and energy."[1]

I fucking hate that awful tactic of science deniers labeling themselves with as intentionally a misleading title as they possibly can. Good looking out.

Polar bears are finally living out their dreams of fucking Grizzlies and we can't just leave them alone. Humans suck.

Editor's Note: National Geographic went too far in drawing a definitive connection between climate change and a particular starving polar bear in the opening caption of our December 2017 video about the animal. We said, This is what climate change looks like. While science has established that there is a strong connection between melting sea ice and polar bears dying off, there is no way to know for certain why this bear was on the verge of death. Above is an updated version of the video.

The listed numbers from the 50s and 60s/70s have never actually been accepted by the scientific community worldwide.

If we wanted, we can implant tiny rice grain sized RFID tags underneath their skin into all Polar Bears and track them via technology.

If you want an accurate count, that's the way to do it.

But the issue is who is brave enough to subdue a Polar Bear and insert each and every tracker.

Cost isn't the issue, the man power and willingness to get near the bear is another issue.
