In 2009, then-Sen. John Kerry said, \u201cScientists project that the Arctic will be ice-free in the summer of 2013.\u201d In that same year, Al Gore reiterated the claim: \u201cSome of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap during some of the summer months will be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.\u201d Without ice, polar bears have a tough time surviving, and sadly we had to bid farewell to this wonderful creature a few short years ago because we failed to heed the warning. Actually, no, that\u2019s not at all true. Not only has the Arctic retained a considerable amount of ice in recent summers, but polar bears are thriving. Earlier this year, Dr. Susan Crockford of the Global Warming Policy Foundation discovered, \u201cOn almost every measure, things are looking good for polar bears. Scientists are finding that they are well distributed throughout their range and adapting well to changes in sea ice. Health indicators are good and they are benefiting from abundant prey.\u201d With roughly 25,000 polar bears estimated to be roaming the Arctic, up from 5,000 in the \u201860s, the alarm should be over. But it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n
According to a new report from the U.S. Geological Survey, computer models suggest nearly one-third of polar bears could be wiped off the planet in 10 years as greenhouse gas emissions rise. Let\u2019s get this straight: The same scientific lobby that warned decades ago polar bears would be extinct by now \u2014 but which instead grew in population \u2014 are now telling us that a significant percentage of bears could face eradication within a decade based on computer models. The same computer models that utterly failed to forecast the current 18-year-old global warming hiatus. That kind of logic is enough to make even a polar bear do a facepalm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
