A new book from Susan Crockford called The Polar Bear Catastrophe That Never Happened (March 2019) perhaps could have been called, "How to Hide 30,000 Polar Bears." This is what the Green-Scare machine has apparently done under a mountain of smear and indignation. This is a story of the concealment and the backlash--the failure of science. 1
Polar bear numbers have grown four-fold during the last fifty years (obviously climate change has been good for them). But WWF is still running stories headlined: Polar bear population decline a wake up call for climate change action. Yet polar bear numbers could easily exceed 40,000, up from a low point of 10,000 or fewer in the 1960s.
