Consensus Scientist Lie About Polar Bear Population

Global warming alarmist gave themselves another black eye.  Consensus scientist once again massaged the numbers to inflame panic and bolster grant money.  This time they used their mascot to mislead the public.  The polar bear was declared an endangered species due to “climate change.”  It seems we’ve been duped by the scientific community once again.  The Daily Caller reported the following:

“Consequently, there is either no, or only rudimentary, knowledge to support guesses about the possible abundance of polar bears in approximately half the areas they occupy,” says PBSG. “Thus, the range given for total global population should be viewed with great caution as it cannot be used to assess population trend over the long term.”

PBSG’s admission also comes after academics and government regulators have touted their polar bear population estimates to show that polar bear numbers have grown since the 1960s. PBSG estimates have also been used to show that polar bear populations have stabilized over the last 30 years.

Polar bear populations became the centerpiece of the effort to fight global warming due to claims that melting polar ice caps would cause the bears to become endangered in the near future. Years ago, some scientists predicted the Arctic would be virtually ice free by now.

Polar bears became the first species listed under the Endangered Species Act because they could potentially be harmed by global warming. But some recent studies have found that some polar bear subpopulations have actually flourished in recent years.

“So, the global estimates were… ‘simply a qualified guess given to satisfy public demand’ and according to this statement, were never meant to be considered scientific estimates, despite what they were called, the scientific group that issued them, and how they were used,” Crockford said.

Never meant to be considered scientific estimates?  Will they say the same about their global warming models?  Folks, we are being played for a bunch of suckers.  Bernie Madoff has nothing on these climate change grafters.
