Right, New York Times, Scientists Do Disagree on The Polar Vortex

Right, New York Times, Scientists Do Disagree on The Polar Vortex By Linnea Lueken A recent article in The New York Times (NYT) “What’s Up With This Big Freeze? Some Scientists See Climate Change Link” describes different perspectives of climate scientists regarding winter cold extremes. Some scientists are claiming based on climate model projections that global warming is making […]

Mother Jones: ‘Something Unexpected Is Happening With Norway’s Polar Bears’ – ‘The effects of climate change, at least locally, may be making them healthier’ – Researcher: ‘I was surprised’

Something Unexpected Is Happening With Norway’s Polar Bears By BENJI JONES Excerpt: Polar bears became the poster child for the peril of climate change for obvious reasons: They hunt seals from the ice, and as fossil fuels warm the planet, the ice where these bears live is melting. For more than three decades, scientists have been warning that climate […]

Looking at the 27-year period between 1992 […]

Shock News: Polar Bears Are Thriving – ‘The fatter a bear is the better it is’ – New Study: ‘There was no support for the predicted negative effect of warmer weather & habitat loss’ – Published in journal Nature Scientific Reports

https://dailysceptic.org/2026/01/30/shock-news-polar-bears-are-thriving/ BY SALLUST Some polar bears, it seems, are doing well out climate change and reduced ice levels in the Arctic, so a study in Nature Scientific Reports says. Although ‘body condition index’ (BCI) was observed declining for the first five years of the 1995-2019 study, it didn’t stay that way: We assessed how intrinsic (female reproductive state, […]

New Study: ‘Minimal Arctic Sea Ice Loss in the Last 20 Years’ – ‘Arctic sea ice loss has slowed considerably, with no statistically significant decline in September sea ice area since 2005’ – No decline found ‘across all months of the year’

Changes to polar bear DNA could help them adapt to global warming, study finds

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/dec/12/changes-to-polar-bear-dna-could-help-them-adapt-to-global-heating-study-finds By Helena Horton Changes in polar bear DNA that could help the animals adapt to warmer climates have been detected by researchers, in a study thought to be the first time a statistically significant link has been found between rising temperatures and changing DNA in a wild mammal species. Climate breakdown is threatening the […]
