The polar bears and others will just die. There are more polar bears now than there have been in the last 50 years. If you are going to post that green nonsense here, at least get your facts straight. Sounds like you are ready to freeze to death in the dark. Liberalism breeds such pessimism. The Universe is benign. Life is an adventure. Cheer up! :>)

I believe we can save the polar bear, but there will be many beautiful species lost, particularly in Africa, if we cannot take them off the human menu in Africa and Asia. * * *

Same old tricks with Polar Bears...cherry pick some data and extrapolate it out 100 years until it fits a headline Internationally known forecasting pioneer Dr. Scott Armstrong of the Wharton School at the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania and his colleague, forecasting expert Dr. Kesten Green of Monash University in Australia, co-authored a January 27, 2008 paper with Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Willie Soon which found that polar bear extinction predictions violate “scientific forecasting procedures.” Excerpt: The study analyzed the methodology behind key polar bear population prediction and found that one of the two key reports in support of listing the bears had “extrapolated nearly 100 years into the future on the basis of only five years data - and data for these years were of doubtful validity.” (LINK) forecastingprinciples.com
