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)

My scientific paper that exposes the failure of 2007 USGS-Amstrup prediction that #polarbears would be devastated by mid-century-like #seaice loss has now been downloaded almost 4000 times. People reading for themselves why less summer ice is not a threat https://t.co/gBveassiX1 https://t.co/5uxq4N83CB
@FriendsOScience @POTUS @realDonaldTrump Here is the science that backs up my claims in full scientific format, downloaded > 3700 times. Some may complain it's not 'peer reviewed' but even if it had been, they would reject the chosen journal. Judge the paper on it's content https://t.co/gBveasaI5t
@tan123 "As a consequence, the hypothesis that repeated below 5 mkm2 will cause significant population declines in polar bears is rejected,---similar predictions for Arctic seals and walrus may be likewise flawed.

@tan123 @coolbearfacts The greatest threat to Polar Bears if from Canadian-authorized hunting. In fact, the number of Polar Bears has increased over the past decade: https://t.co/ClY5y1bB4Y

This is her main paper in the discussion and I think it is a valid contribution to the discussion although it is not officially peer reviewed. It's not even mentioned by Harvey et al
@GonzaloSyldavia @HaddockAdhoc Nada interesante. Porque dijeron que a este nivel de hielo de ahora la población de osos disminuiría entre un 30 - 67%, ¡y ha aumentado un 16%!

@AEDerocher Re: "Maybe submit it as a comment"
She claims to have submitted comment papers, but I don't see how they support her blog contentions:

Her recent, main supporting article is not peer-reviewed:

Bad signs.
