You’re killing me with your addiction to fossil fuels
Plucked from the ABC’s library of climate alarmism, here we have yet another ‘polar bears are doomed’ story to add to the millions we have seen already (none of which have, or will, come true).
But so what if none of these apocalyptic prophesies ever come to pass? The ABC, and its nauseating coterie of Greeny-Lefty, inner-city, bike-riding, latte-sipping, sandal-wearing, basket-weaving, yoghurt-knitting, pro-Palestinian, “Fuck Tony Abbott” supporting, Ultimo-squatting trendoids, cares about the climate, and it constantly needs to demonstrate this by publishing this kind of crap.
And just to ram the point home, the article is accompanied by an oh-so-cute photo of a polar bear cub, just so all you evil deniers out there can feel really guilty for putting petrol in your car or using electricity generated from coal:
Scientists are warning polar bears in the Arctic could face starvation by the end of the century if sea ice keeps shrinking.
Sea ice projections for the Canadian Arctic Archipelago show global warming could reduce the icy periods polar bears need to hunt and breed each year.
The Canadian Arctic Archipelago is known as the “last ice area” and was thought to be a long-term safe haven for the polar bear.
But researchers said the findings were an early warning sign for the potential impacts of climate change on other Arctic species too.
Dr Andrew Derocher from Canada’s University of Alberta said the region’s icy conditions were crucial for polar bears, but sea ice projections in the area were not positive.
He said the ice models showed the animals could starve if climate change continued on its current trajectory, as it would not only impact upon the bears, but also their prey.
“We know already that other populations further south and in other areas won’t be doing well … but in this area where we thought the ice would persist well into this century [we’ve started] to see serious difficulties,” he said.
“They have a short window in the spring time where they gorge themselves on the fat of seals. The problem is, if you push them too far, they don’t have enough energy stored.
“It’s clear we’re on a trajectory that will result in many populations of polar bears blinking out.” (source)
De-fund the ABC – now.
Australian Climate Madness 
Perhaps a few breeding pairs could be caught and shipped to the South Polar regions. South Georgia, Heard Island would be nice.
Hell no, it’s dangerous enough down there already! Probably too cold for them anyway.
As usual, based on models; that nature is defying the models should tell them something.
Quite so. The models seem just always to be based on false assumptions.
Evolve!

I’m putting 1200 litres of petrol in the boat today, in honour of the “coterie of Greeny-Lefty, inner-city, bike-riding, latte-sipping, sandal-wearing, basket-weaving, yoghurt-knitting, pro-Palestinian, “Fuck Tony Abbott” supporting, Ultimo-squatting trendoids.”
They are MAKING me do this, because they MAKE me hate them. LOL!
Agreed! So they believe that polar bears didn’t survive the Holocene optimum (or RWP or MWP), or the last time the arctic was ice-free?
The Greens will be extinct long before the polar bears.
And I’ll drink to that!
Well, I think that there are many issues that need to be discussed and that are related to the animal kingdom and climate change. All our life was and is influenced by that. It’s correct that the behavior of some animals can be changed by the climate change (for example, look at us, humans….), but still, if the animals change their behavior that could also be just evolution. Animals changed habits even before human intervention on climate. Global warming started way back, around 150 years ago, when human intervention was minimal. Earth has a cycle of warmer and cooler periods. Now we are in a period with higher temperatures. If you want to find more statistics about climate change please visit http://www.1ocean-1climate.com. You’ll find some interesting facts there!
smamarver,says: ”Global warming started way back, around 150 years ago, when human intervention was minimal. Earth has a cycle of warmer and cooler periods. Now we are in a period with higher temperatures”
That’s Pagan beliefs!!! Reason the ”skeptics” are born losers…
The truth: today is exactly the same temp as it was 150y ago; and in 150y from now will be still exactly the same – because: the earth ”Self Adjusting Temperature Mechanism” (SATM) is infallible!!! Warmings / coolings are NEVER global!!!
here are the proofs::https://globalwarmingdenier.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/cooling-earth/
And to kick off the summer, Huge balls of ice fall from the sky in a Brisbane hailstorm. Blame that on the warming…
They were at it again on the ABC this morning, adinfinitum, go tell China about it as Obama has given them the green light to not bother about reducing Carbon levels until 2030.
From the ABC news item: “Researchers believe the results have implications for other parts of the world too.” Amazing how the warmists can turn their models, in other words, their predictions or forecasts, into “results”, as though the polar bear catastrophe foretold has already occurred. Not so surprising that the ABC swallows that and regurgitates it to us, its audience, without chewing. The actual situation, that the evidence in the real world is that polar bear numbers have been steadily increasing, is a mere footnote to the message of doom.
You wouldn’t like to tell the ABC that summer Arctic sea ice was able to support the search for Franklins boat would you and live?

The ABC story mentions nothing of the 11 polar bears and the rare summer ice there. Of course not…that would sink their political agenda. Link: http://tinyurl.com/Franklin-ABC
