As Polar Bear Population Explodes, Animal Loses its Climate Crisis Mascot Status
Legal Insurrection | September 17, 2024 | Leslie Eastman

… in 2019, I covered a book entitled “The Polar Bear Catastrophe That Never Happened” by Dr. Susan Crockford. The University of Victoria professor analyzes the latest data and reviews the questionable values in official estimates, concluding that polar bears are thriving.

Subsequently, she was fired from her position at the university.

However, it didn’t stop what she wrote from being true.

The polar bear, the iconic image of the climate crisis, has entirely lost its eco-activist mascot status. Climate expert Bjorn Lomborg (President of the Copenhagen Consensus and Visiting Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution) recently examined the numbers in a New York Post piece and came to the same conclusion.

Protesters dressed as polar bears, while Al Gore’s hit 2006 film “An Inconvenient Truth” showed us a sad, animated polar bear floating away to its death.

The Washington Post warned that polar bears faced extinction, and the World Wildlife Fund’s chief scientist even claimed some polar bear populations would be unable to reproduce by 2012.

And then in the 2010s, campaigners just stopped talking about polar bears.

Why? Because after years of misrepresentation, it finally became impossible for them to ignore a mountain of evidence showing that the global polar bear population has increased substantially from around 12,000 in the 1960s to around 26,000 in the present day. (The main reason? People are hunting a lot less [fewer] polar bears).

…

This is not to say people don’t go hunting for polar bears. They do. It’s just that they do it with cell phone cameras for Instagram posts while they take “polar bear safaris.”

Canada boasts around 16,000 polar bears, approximately 60% of the world’s total population. With as many bears as taxpayers, Churchill, Manitoba (pop. 900), bills itself as the “polar bear capital of the world.”

“And we don’t pay taxes.”

Polar bears are rewiring their own genetics to survive a warming climate
NBC News | December 12, 2025 | Elmira Aliieva

With climate change steadily dismantling the icy habitat essential to their existence, new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive.

How? How are they doing this? Will it work?

The species is being forced to adapt to the harsher reality of a warming Arctic, in what scientists believe is the first documented case of rising temperatures driving genetic change in a mammal.

How? How are they doing this? Will it work?

Researchers from the University of East Anglia in Britain say these findings, published Friday in the journal Mobile DNA, offer a rare glimmer of hope for the species.

“Mobile DNA“? How are they doing this? Will it work?

“Polar bears are still sadly expected to go extinct this century, with two-thirds of the population gone by 2050,” Alice Godden, who is the lead author of the study, told NBC News.

Shall we check with her (or him) 25 years from now? Will he or she still be accountable for the accuracy of this prediction?

Will the journal?

Will NBC News?

“I believe our work really does offer a glimmer of hope — a window of opportunity for us to reduce our carbon emissions . . .

She or he should start keeping a journal now recording how she or he does this over the next 25 years.

. . . to slow down the rate of climate change and to give these bears more time to adapt to these stark changes in their habitats.”

Both Climate Change and Evolution measurably act on the time span of 25 years? How do they do this? Will it work?

The study “does not mean that polar bears are at any less risk of extinction,” Godden said,

— Godden forbid —

though the discovery may “provide a genetic blueprint for how polar bears might be able to adapt quickly to climate change.”

Godden added: “We all must do more to mitigate our carbon emissions to help provide and extend this window of opportunity to help save this wonderful vital species.”

How? How do scientists and reporters get away with this? Will it work?
