Oops. Confounded science not playing ball with environmentalist industry or liberal envirolunatics—again.
“Global warming could cause polar bears to go extinct by the end of the century by eroding the sea ice that sustains them,” is the dire warning contained in a new report from an international group of “researchers” called the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment.
That’s from a column written by one of our columnists, Steve Milloy, whose column was right on the mark—over two months ahead of this Canadian Press story released today—a Friday evening when nobody is paying attention:
Nunavut polar bear hunting to increase after growing numbers cause fears
The most recent population survey in the eastern part of the territory suggested there were about 2,100 polar bears in 1997. But because hunting quotas were set conservatively low, numbers have growing slowly and steadily ever since.
Territorial officials now estimate that population at around 2,400. Local hunters believe it’s as high as 2,600.
[…] “We were getting a lot of information from the communities that there were more polar bears in their area than before,” Olayuk Akesuk, Nunavut’s environment minister said. (Nunavut is a new Canadian territory—used to be part of the Northwest Territory.)
