Testing the hypothesis that routine sea ice coverage of 3-5 mkm2 results in a greater than 30% decline in population size of polar bears (Ursus maritimus)
@CatRiv8083 @Overloard44 @MyCrazyPh0t0s @B17Fortres @Critterpap @SamSanderson123 @barelycopping @NatGeo Bud Fox can't. Recent study finds that population decline is accelerating significantly due to climate change.

@tlitb @shubclimate @clim8resistance Hmmm, tbh I suspect that this (as yet not peer-reviewed) paper is far more relevant to the topic than the peer-reviewed papers that tangentially mention polar bears. Crux is, Crockford is a professional zoologist with Phd, she's right to challenge.

@KanStaandPijpen I like the term 'tragedy porn', and understand that hype can be damaging. That article link you gave rises suspicions in me. Yes, one piece of data is not a trend, but their language is skewed to the 'it's not happening' margin. References lack peer review https://t.co/BIbvoUGNcb
@T7Ricky @38boog Most recent data don’t support your thesis: https://t.co/gaLupNmP2i Indeed, the best thing to do for polar bears, if deemed necessary, would be to outlaw hunting: https://t.co/uMxNOCqMM3
@juanmanuelycia Lo tuyo es fuerte. No niego el cambio climático. Las especies no disminuyen más que antes del cambio climático (¿números, plis?). Causa real ... futura tien un nombre: especulación. Y el hielo ya ha dsimunido ... ¡con aumento de osos!

@ryanjespersen Jesus Ryan, you will believe anything.
It is a fake story.

Please read these before replying. Polar Bear populations have been increasing, and in fact, the greatest danger to them is hunting.

#polarbears have lived with predicted 2050 sea ice since 2007 yet no numbers declined as predicted: details here https://t.co/gBveassiX1 https://t.co/rjZ4MHiRnh
USGS experts predicted for ESA 2/3 of #polarbears would die when Sept #seaice fell to levels actually seen 2007-2015 https://t.co/gBveassiX1 https://t.co/hkeFHcX8s1
