Polar Bear Science
International Polar Bear Day: a time to admit the species is not threatened with extinction due to reduced sea ice habitat
February 26, 2019
Excerpt:
Times have changed: where once many scientists worried that polar bears could not survive an Arctic with 40% less ice, now the concern is that people of the Arctic might not be able to keep themselves safe from growing numbers of increasingly fearless bears.
International Polar Bear Day is tomorrow, 27 February. It’s a good time to reconsider polar bear conservation in light of current realities. Polar bears are not threatened with extinction by loss of sea ice habitat but continue to thrive in spite of it (Crockford 2017).
Tomorrow, the 2018 State of the Polar Bear Report will be released. But for now, see some of the failed claims below.

Crockford is routinely cited because she has consistently been right and her critics have consistently been wrong. World polar bear population now estimated at nearly 30,000.
Cited on blogs.
Denier blogs.
To which the reply is: So what? She has been right, every time, and her critics have been wrong. That is why they have tried so hard to marginalize her by going outside the bounds of normal scientific exchange.
No. She’s a fake expert and has been called out in the published literature for that.
Nope. The "published literature" is the arena her always-wrong critics have chosen to try to salvage their reputations. They will continue to fail until they admit she was (and is) right and they were wrong.
There’s a reason she only writes and is referenced on denier blogs, and no polar bear population researcher considers her a peer.
She's not their peer. She's their superior, as evidenced by her research results. To call her their peer would insult her.
LOL.
What a ****ed up world you live in.
There once was a polar bear – science vs the blogosphere | My view on climate change

They keep ignoring the evidence that the Polar Bear Population growth still continues since 2005, and that a number of published science papers have showed good evidence of little to NO Summer ice in the arctic that lasted for centuries, also that today, the Summer sea ice cover is well above average for the Interglacial period.
Here is a short list of such papers:

Here comes the usual ad homs and dead on arrival replies.
Watts Up With That?
Inconvenient: Polar Bear Numbers May Have Quadrupled

Researcher says attempts to silence her have failed
Polar bear numbers could easily exceed 40,000, up from a low point of 10,000 or fewer in the 1960s.
In The Polar Bear Catastrophe that Never Happened, a book published today by the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Dr Susan Crockford uses the latest data as well as revisiting some of the absurd values used in official estimates, and concludes that polar bears are actually thriving:

The usual crowd here doesn't much like Dr. Suzy C
Zoologists are life scientists who study animals, observing them in the laboratory and in their natural habitat. They study the origin and development of species as well as their habits, behaviors and interactions. Zoologists, who also research the development of animal diseases, sometimes known as animal scientists or animal biologists because zoology is the branch of biology that deals with the animal kingdom.
Since that is all they come up with these days, it is clear she is now one of the researchers who are at the FOREFRONT on Polar Bears history, habitat and population, eclipsing others who were once good researchers before they succumbed to the climate mania they have swallowed deeply. It is a sad testament when so many are unwilling to look at the data/evidence objectively.
I keep waiting for the intelligent, rational rebuttal of Dr. Crockfords statements about Polar Bear population number changes, and its relation to sea ice cover, but continue to fall flat on their faces over their stupid education fallacy, stupid since she has a PHD in Zoology and over 30 years in the science.
From About Bioscience,
Excerpt:
Literally, the woman has zero publications or research experience in polar bear populations or behavior, and has the lowest possible academic appointment ever- and adjunct professor at a minor college, meaning she might lecture on low level courses sometimes for about minimum wage.
She’s also been absolutely excoriated in the scientific literature about her fake ‘expertise’ on bears, and literally is paid to write denier stuff for think tanks paid by fossil fuel companies.
Anyone who thinks she’s an expert that deserves to be listened to is not just an idiot, but a blithering idiot.
As I posted earlier, "The usual crowd here doesn't much like Dr. Suzy C"

Zoologists, who also research the development of animal diseases, sometimes known as animal scientists or animal biologists because zoology is the branch of biology that deals with the animal kingdom.
Zoology is a wide field offering many career opportunities for research, especially because there still is a great deal to learn about it. A career in zoology offers an opportunity to make a difference to the planet’s ecology through conservation work. Most zoologists are employed by colleges and universities, where they engage in research and teach students.
