Polar Bears Forced onto Land Losing Weight

[1srelluc]

Well shit, upon careful examination of the "study" the OP needs to go and feed himself to the polar bears.....Sigh, tough break for the OP.

Well, the OP would be reducing his carbon footprint.

I appreciate all the passionate response. Does anyone have any comments about the study's methodology or conclusions?

Why, yes I do.

The methodology was incredibly cruel. Watching those poor innocent bears risk starvation when the experimenters could have easily fed them? All to prove some point about “global warming” which has been debunked due to Chinese overfishing?

You support that?

It is also cruel to waste money on watching bears get hungry when children are starving. Not due to global warming but to government mismanagement and malfeasance.

Well, the OP would be reducing his carbon footprint.

I also factored that in....Of course I did not consider the bear fart part once the OP is consumed.

So, among seven different posters: 1srelluc, JGalt, luiza, Blues Man, Hang On Sloopy, AMart and Flash we find not a single bit of science. What were you hoping to accomplish? Did you think the argument would be taken by the wittiest repartee?

Here the thing....

20 years ago the climate nutters shoved the polar bear shit down everybody's throat.
Overreach by progressives...as per usual.

Result?

Nobody cares about the polar bears in 2024...know it's a ruse.

I think the biggest problem with any melting sea ice would be its effect on the jet stream.

That would be a bit of a sticky wicket...

 

[initforme]

I find topics such as natural resources more interesting than any of america's societal issues. Those are meaningless to this citizen.

Looks like the undersea Arctic volcanoes were silent this year...

Arctic Report: 2024 Sea Ice extent is now 3rd highest in a decade

As winter unfolds, the Arctic sea ice takes center stage, showcasing a noteworthy ranking as the third-highest in the last 10 years. Nevertheless, weather patterns and sea surface temperatures might play an important rule during the melting season.

OOOPpppsss....

What is the global population of polar bears over the years?

Why not show that chart?

Speaking of not a shred of science how much is temperature expected to decrease for each imaginary 10PPM reduction in atmospheric CO2?

The loss of sea ice is dramatically reducing the number of seals with their high fat content, consumed by polar bears. A recent study found that other foods have too little fat and require too much effort for the bears to find. They are losing weight badly.

For threatened polar bears, the climate change diet is a losing proposition

With Arctic sea ice shrinking from climate change, many polar bears have to shift their diets to land during parts of the summer.

Polar bear energetic and behavioral strategies on land with implications for surviving the ice-free period - Nature Communications

Declining Arctic sea ice is increasing polar bear land use. Here, the authors follow 20 different polar bears on land over 3 years and measure daily energy expenditure finding that despite behavioural and diet plasticity the bears are at risk of starvation.

Good ...adapt or go extinct...my preference?
They make excellent rugs....

Bwahhaha

You need to post this under religion because that's what this is for you people.

As you could see, my post was based on a news story and an article in Nature. It is not a religion. It is extremely well-acccepted science. Now your view, which you hold in SPITE of enormous scientific evidence, looks a great deal more like a religion to me. "Do not lean onto your own understanding". Reject that which your eyes and ears tell you. Keep the faith. Right?

 

[Crick]

Maybe since they are not spending all that time in frigid water they don't need as much blubber for insulation. It's called adaptation.

Polar bears do not possess blubber. They will eventually have to evolve back to a land-based animal as the Arctic is going to eventually melt. But their population is going to plummet before they do. And there is a non-trivial chance that will simply go extinct before they are able to do so.

 

[Crick]

That idiot Al Gore said 20 years ago that there would be no more polar bears by now. Since there are now more polar bearts than then you Environmental Wackos are now changing it to the polar bears are losing weight? LOL!

My god you are idiots. Absolute imbeciles!

You found no reference to Al Gore in my OP. Why don't you try addressing the references to which I linked for this thread?

 

[Crick]

The loss of seals is due to the Chinese depleting the fish in the Arctic Sea. This has been going on for years.

It has nothing to do with "climate change."

Do you have some evidence to support that claim? I have not heard of Chinese fishing in the Arctic. Besides, the primary food of polar bears is not fish but seals. And seals ALSO require ice for their feeding habits.

 

[Crick]

Good old Crack Pot . Always guaranteed to be first in line to swallow the nonsense .

Would you care to explain why you believe my references are "nonsense"?

Fortunately Polars are too fat already and a good slimming regime is required.

And what evidence can you show us that indicates polar bears are too fat?

Regardless , none of us are that keen or bothered about their welfare .

That doesn't surprise me. Your lack of education is blatant.

Knowing none are around will make summer vacations feel safer and fish stocks will grow.

Polar bears do not eat fish. They eat seals. If you have been feeling nervous about polar bears on your summer vacation, I suggest you vacation elsewhere.

Looks like a Win -Win for the Hate Polars Brigade

Can you give us a link to their website or an email address for them?

lol................that was a smack down....bawwwhahahahahaaha

If you thought that was funny, try this one:

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To get to the other side.

Rib-ticklin' humdinger, eh?

I hope you haven't made the error of thinking that polar bears will be the ONLY thing going extinct?
