Scientists Admit Polar Bear Numbers Were Made Up To ‘Satisfy Public Demand’

[Geee]

Daily Caller:

This may come as a shocker to some, but scientists are not always right — especially when under intense public pressure for answers.

 

Researchers with the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) recently admitted to experienced zoologist and polar bear specialist Susan Crockford that the estimate given for the total number of polar bars in the Arctic was “simply a qualified guess given to satisfy public demand.”

 

Crockford has been critical of official polar bear population estimates because they fail to include five large subpopulations of polar bears. Due to the uncertainty of the populations in these areas, PBSG did not include them in their official estimate — but the polar bear group did include other subpopulation estimates.

I will be waiting for the MSM to publish this story.

Everyone knows that the habitat of the Polar bear has been compromised by Global Baloney. Their staple diet of unicorns has almost disappeared [some still found at WH functions]....they've been reduced to eating Smurfs....which gives them terrible gas....and that contributes to more Global Baloney.
