Scientists Admit Polar Bear Numbers Were Made Up To ‘Satisfy Public Demand’
This may come as a shocker to some, but scientists are not always right — especially when under intense public pressure for answers.
Researchers with the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) recently admitted to experienced zoologist and polar bear specialist Susan Crockford that the estimate given for the total number of polar bars in the Arctic was “simply a qualified guess given to satisfy public demand.”
Crockford has been critical of official polar bear population estimates because they fail to include five large subpopulations of polar bears. Due to the uncertainty of the populations in these areas, PBSG did not include them in their official estimate — but the polar bear group did include other subpopulation estimates.
PBSG has for years said that global polar bear populations were between 20,000 and 25,000, but these estimates are likely much lower than how many polar bears are actually living in the world.
“Based on previous PBSG estimates and other research reports, it appears there are probably at least another 6,000 or so bears living in these regions and perhaps as many as 9,000 (or more) that are not included in any PBSG ‘global population estimate,’” Crockford wrote on her blog.
“These are guesses, to be sure, but they at least give a potential size,” Crockford added.
PBSG disclosed this information to Crockford ahead of the release of their Circumpolar Polar Bear Action Plan in which they intend to put a footnote explaining why their global population estimate is flawed.

Just more proof, that man made global warming is one of the biggest myths ever perpetrated.
Almost as bad as the lies that were told in regards to the so called damage DDT did to the environment. Which caused the mass spread of malaria through mosquitoes in Africa that has resulted in tens of millions of deaths.
To this day DDT is banned as a result of mythical data that is clearly wrong. Almost as though there is a concerted effort to make sure the spread of malaria is not neutralized in order to control populations in Africa. Oh.......naaaaah. That is just a conspiracy theory. In the mean time, the DDT reports of the harm were all brazen lies, and mosquito population is not controlled, malaria is spread around, and tens of millions of deaths have a occurred.
Liberals are such losers.
