Those endangered Polar bears that are still thriving
Remember the polar bears? Those cute, cuddly, incredibly dangerous apex predator icons of the climate emergency that once roamed the frozen wastes of the far north until climate change wiped them all out?
Well, in the late 1960s there were an estimated 12,000 polar bears spread out around the Arctic.
But with disappearing sea ice causing the bears not to be able to feed in the spring and summer, numbers have plunged toโฆ 32,000. Whoa, wait a minute thereโฆ.
In her report for the Global Warming Policy Foundation, zoologist and polar bear expert Susan Crockford points out that the โofficialโ estimate from the Polar Bear Study Group is 26,000, but it was last produced in 2015 and hasnโt been updated since then.
Perhaps they fear good newsโฆ and if so rightly because new regional surveys since 2015 have added thousands to the estimated sub-populations and by her reckoning the current population is likely around 32,000.
The progress since the 1970s in polar bear conservation is undeniable:

Note that among its other virtues, Crockfordโs paper shows error bars rather than implying more certainty than is justified.
But even if the actual number is less than 32,000, and of course it could also be more, Crockford points out that back in 2007 the US Geological Survey forecast the polar bear population would fall by two-thirds to about 7,500 by now, due to disappearing sea ice, due to you wanting to fly to your holiday destination.
Although not as far nor as often as John Kerry or Justin Trudeau fly to theirs.
It was a spectacularly wrong forecast which at the time inspired a now-apparently defunct activist group called Plane Stupid to make a plain stupid video showing polar bears falling from the sky to their deaths on a city street below as a โJโaccuseโ against selfish polar bear killers who travel by โfossil fuelโ-powered jets.
But if โclimate changeโ is what drives polar bear population change then hurray for โclimate changeโ because the polar bear numbers are not #Gettingworse, theyโre getting better.
Enjoyโฆ from a safe distance.

Foolish crap for the weak.of mind. The c19 Terror Campaign, with all of its Hoax materials and cast of thousands to drive the weak minded Into beggingโฆdemanding a Long Patented Bioweapon Injection, is absolute proof that the Murderous Globalists are rightโฆ.MOST of Humanity is mental and a waste of space and resources.
Sickening bunch of freaking Lemmings.
The Polar Bear Predators would simply move on to a available preyโฆincluding migrating to where it is. Thousands migrated south along the Hudson Bay to pester villagers along the wayโฆand consume garbage dump leavingsโฆfor decades! When thatโs gone, theyโll go after anything that canโt outrun them or hide from them. They might even flourish hugelyโฆas the pickings are danged good in the forests as compared to the polar ice and sea.
