This is apparently why polar bears in this region are doing just as well as those living in NE Greenland: in other words, thriving despite the pessimistic prophesies of experts.

No evidence for BBC claim that Churchill is simply getting too warm for polar bears
Another pronouncement from conservation activists at Polar Bears International taken without a single check of facts makes the BBC look ineffective and gullible.
Arctic Report: primary productivity still high & sea ice flatline continues despite warmer temperatures
NOAAs annual Arctic Report Card is, for the most part, a valiant effort to turn good and ambiguous news into harbingers of climate change disaster.
A little help for a colleague?
My favorite bone whisperer, Dr. Susan Crockford, is writing a new book, which she describes as “the complete story of polar bear evolution, including the role of hybridization, but without…
Hudson Bay Sea Ice Freeze-Up in 2022 Like the 1980s for the 5th Time Since 2015
This is the fifth year out of the last seven that enough sea ice has formed along the west coast of Hudson Bay by mid-November for bears to be able…
Polar bear habitat update: ice forming along Hudson Bay, Wrangel & Franz Josef Islands surrounded
Western Hudson Bay polar bears near Churchill will be able to leave shore within days, at most one week later than in the 1980s, although you wouldn’t know that from…
New polar bear hunting habitat forming already along the coast of the Laptev Sea: A new trend?
It’s looking to me like the decade-long increasing trend of September ice extent since 2012 (see below) may indicate a change more biologically relevant to ice-dependent Arctic animals than the zero…
Polar Bear No Closer to Extinction Than It Was 18 Years Ago as Arctic Sea Ice Resists ‘Tipping Point’
All predictions of disaster aside, in fact the polar bear is no closer to extinction than it was in 2005 as Arctic sea ice again steadfastly resists slipping past a catastrophic ‘tipping point’ — or the ‘death…
Frozen Planet II repeats Attenborough’s climate change scaremongering that began in 2015
This is calculated ‘climate change’ propaganda marketed as ‘entertainment’. Buyer beware.
Fact Check: Polar Bears Breaking Through Thin Ice is Not Evidence of Climate Change, It’s a Drone Chase
Hudema is blatantly wrong as well as dishonest: scientific facts do not back up his assertions. Just more evidence that these climate activists will stop at nothing to promote their…
Last WH polar bears ashore even later than 2009 as Hudson Bay finally becomes ice-free
Don’t forget: this is the subpopulation that polar bear specialists use to model the future of all bears, everywhere in the Arctic but only use stale data from the 2000s because including more recent…
Susan Crockford Interviewed on Tom Nelson’s Podcast
Since 2012, she has challenged claims that polar bears and other Arctic species face devastation due to loss of summer sea ice, which over the years has generated a surprisingly…
Hudson Bay Sea Ice Update: Many Polar Bears are Still on Low Concentration Ice Offshore
This is shaping up to be a great year for Hudson Bay bears!
New Paper Polar Bears Attracted to Garbage Dumps Blames Lack of Sea Ice Without Any Evidence
All you need to know about the motivation behind the paper comes from the authors’ acknowledgement:
Arctic Sea Ice Still Quite Abundant for Early Summer
Forget about whether the numbers are below or above some short-term average, there is no catastrophe in the making for marine mammals in the Arctic at this time.
Claim: Data Exists Showing Polar Bear Body Condition Improves Over Summer On Sea Ice
I would seriously like to know which paper or papers this data appears in but of course, he doesn’t provide that information. Instead, it’s ‘trust me, I’m the expert’.
Southern Beaufort Sea Polar Bear Habitat at the Summer Solstice is Above Average
Sea ice is well above recent levels for this time of year in the Southern Beaufort and only time will tell if that’s bad news for polar bears.
New Polar Bear Subpopulation Update: More Background Facts and Details from the Paper
As a consequence, the media have been trying to out-do each other with the most over-the-top climate catastrophe headlines,
Newly-discovered SE Greenland Polar Bear Subpopulation: Another Assumption Proven False
I’m thrilled to see evidence that glacier-front habitat can support a small polar bear population even without summer sea ice.
Dr. Susan Crockford, For the Win, Booyah!
There is actual evidence that two of my fully-referenced blog posts caused some Antarctic Treaty delegates to reject a bid for special protected status for Emperor penguins. Activist heads have exploded.
Polar Bear Habitat in Canada Over the Last Decade: Spring Sea Ice Not in a Death Spiral
Sea ice extent in Canada at the height of Arctic spring over the last 10 years has been more like a gentle roller coaster than a death spiral.
Polynyas are Critical for Polar Bear Spring Feeding
Sea ice is still abundant in spring (April-June), which is the critical feeding period for polar bears: they must consume about 2/3 of the total calories they need for the…
