The polar bear is “threatened” due to events that “may” happen in the future. When there is a real need for this listing I hope people do not ignore due to false claims such as this. Cry Wolf.
Fact: Polar bear numbers are at an all time high.

Actually, polar bears need the ice to hunt for ringed seals - their primary food source. No ice=no food.

Polar bears are at an all-time high number (since we have been measuring). Seems that this is a political move to pander to the anti-human anti-progress folks.
Send your tithes and offerings to the government and they will control the weather. Given the great job they have done with social security i am sure that they will do a good job….
