warming of the world ocean

C'mon OldCrocks, just admit you're a stupid dupe hack fraud and be done with it. Flooding the environment forum with more crap you haven't even read proves nothing but!

Of course, answers like these simply indicate the intellectual poverty of those in denial of reality.


One reality of this article is that it was written in the year 2000. Another reality is that the array of Argo Buoys was not deployed until 2003.

Data available to these folks was spotty at best compared to today's capabilities. Thier conclusions are, for all intents and purposes, wothless by today's standards.

As one of code1211's peers, I have reviewed this post and concur with the author.
 
A few fun facts about polar bears.

Their population has increased 5 fold in recent years.

Warmers state that they have been seen further south than ever before, which contrary to their statements, implies global cooling and/or increase in bear populations.

Bears don't get stranded on ice. From wiki:
Polar bears depend on sea ice as a platform for hunting seals.

They can easily swim the Bering Strait. From wiki:
The polar bear is an excellent swimmer and individuals have been seen in open Arctic waters as far as 200 mi (320 km) from land.

When there is an expansion in the numbers of predators, they must go farther afield in search of food sources, and will show up in places that we aren't used to seeing them.

As usual, you are lying, or so damned stupid that you cannot differentiate between real sources and wingnut lies.

First, it's important to note that scientists lack historical data on polar bear numbers—they only have rough estimates. What we do know, though, is that in the 1960s, polar bear populations dropped precipitously due to over-hunting. When restrictions on polar bear harvests were put in place in the early 1970s, populations rebounded. That situation was a conservation success story ... but the current threat to polar bears is entirely different, and more dire.

Today's polar bears are facing the rapid loss of the sea-ice habitat that they rely on to hunt, breed, and, in some cases, to den. Last summer alone, the melt-off in the Arctic was equal to the size of Alaska, Texas, and the state of Washington combined—a shrinkage that was not predicted to happen until 2040. The loss of Arctic sea ice has resulted in a shorter hunting season for the bears, which has led to a scientifically documented decline in the best-studied population, Western Hudson Bay, and predictions of decline in the second best-studied population, the Southern Beaufort Sea.

Both populations are considered representative of what will likely occur in other polar bear populations should these warming trends continue. The Western Hudson Bay population has dropped by 22% since 1987. The Southern Beaufort Sea bears are showing the same signs of stress the Western Hudson Bay bears did before they crashed, including smaller adults and fewer yearling bears.

At the most recent meeting of the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group (Copenhagen, 2009), scientists reported that of the 19 subpopulations of polar bears, eight are declining, three are stable, one is increasing, and seven have insufficient data on which to base a decision. (The number of declining populations has increased from five at the group's 2005 meeting.)

Lack of historical data? Was all of the information on polar bears flushed the same way East Angelia flushed the Global Cooling data?
