State of the Polar Bear Report 2017 shows polar bears are thriving

By Dr. Susan Crockford

My new report reveals that polar bears are doing well despite recent reductions in sea-ice. It shows in details why this is so, with summaries of critical recent research.

Press release and pdf below. And read my op-ed in the National Post here.

Here it is, in pdf form: State of the Polar Bear Report 2017

How did the talk at the public library in Toronto go today?

February 27, 2018 8:02 pm

Hi all,
Just back from my coffee house gig in Toronto featuring the polar bear issue. It was great fun. Not a packed house but there were people there really interested in the issue and asked good questions. We had a former CBC radio host moderating: it was more like a live interview, something I’ve never done before. Very good experience.
The launch event at the library this morning also attracted a good audience. Some had been invited of course but a few others found out about it and came along. It also went very well and there were lots of excellent questions after my short presentation about the report. Sadly, no journalists but apparently the federal gov’t released it’s budget today, so they were probably just too busy.
Thanks so much to Anthony for posting my announcement here and to all of those who’ve left positive feedback on the report and the op-ed at the Financial Post. Slowly, more and more members of the public will come to learn about the inconsistencies in the literature, and between the literature and what some polar bear experts say to the media.
I’ll post more on my own blog when I get home but I’ve got an early morning flight.
Cheers and thanks again for your support.
Susan

Thank you Dr. Crockford. So nice to see some real science. Looking forward to seeing this on the BBC but not holding my breath!!

I predict the alarmists will be extinct in 50 years and the polar bears still thriving 100,000 years from now. Later this century the alarmists will be viewed as idiotic witches and CAGW as weather cooking

What the heck? I was just reading a post on an NBC site about Paul Allen’s ‘Stratolaunch’ twin-fuselage plane designed to launch rockets into orbit, and I see a link for an article entitled,
Scientists Hatch Bold Plan to Save Polar Bears
https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/scientists-hatch-bold-plan-save-polar-bears-ncna851356
The article begins,

For the past two decades, scientists have been monitoring the effects of a warming Arctic on the world’s polar bears — and the bears’ future has looked increasingly bleak.
The latest estimates suggest that Arctic sea ice is disappearing by 14 percent a decade, drastically limiting the bears’ ability to hunt the seals on which they feed. And research on bears living on the Arctic islands of Svalbard shows that the animals are now reproducing at a rate one-fifth of that seen just 20 years ago. . .

I guess I should not be surprised that the CAGW industry is still at it, but I’ve been spending my browsing time at political sites, naively assuming that Dr Crockford’s work has at least stilled the worst of the apocalyptic ‘polar bear’ prophecies—but apparently not. Do the ‘experts’ cited in this article even know of her?

The bears need more sea ice, right? How about some sea ice near the Isle of Wight? Makes it easier to spot & count them 🙂

Swathes of Scotland have been placed on red alert for snow for the first time as the sea froze over in the Isle of Wight.
