Watch: John Stossel on Climate Change Myths Part 1: Polar Bears, Arctic Ice, and Food Shortages
“Our changing climate is already making it more difficult to produce food,” said President Obama in 2017. The opposite is true. Since Obama said that, world food output increased dramatically. We disprove Obama’s claim and other climate change myths:
The US needs to stop using climate model predictions in ESA species assessments
The US needs to stop using climate model predictions in ESA species assessments There are a lot of things wrong with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) – including that constitutionally, the power to regulate fish and wildlife lies with the states, not the federal government – but a worrying trend has developed where outputs of predictive climate change […]
Bjorn Lomborg on why the polar bear was dropped as a climate mascot: ‘It finally became impossible to ignore the mountain of evidence showing that the global polar-bear population has increased substantially’
https://www.wsj.com/articles/polar-bears-dead-coral-and-other-climate-fictions-528b18ea?st=polnjs2w72rxq67&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink Polar Bears, Dead Coral and Other Climate Fictions Activists’ tales of doom never pan out, but they leave us poorly informed and feed bad policy By Bjorn Lomborg Excerpt: Whatever happened to polar bears? They used to be all climate campaigners could talk about, but now they’re essentially absent from headlines. Over the past […]

Polar Bears and Coral Reefs Are Doing Just Fine By Linnea Lueken We live on a beautiful planet, filled with a dizzying assortment of interesting creatures and living organisms. The vast majority of people want to see that life flourish, so it is no wonder that particularly attractive species like cute (usually) polar bears and colorful […]
New Study that Claims it Can Directly Link GHG Emissions to Polar Bear Cub Survival is Poppycock
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2023/09/01/new-study-that-claims-it-can-directly-link-ghg-emissions-to-polar-bear-cub-survival-is-poppycock/ From Polar Bear Science By Susan Crockford A global warming miracle has happened. While no scientist worldwide has ever drawn a straight line between greenhouse gas emissions and population declines in a species considered at risk due to climate change, a new paper just published in Science Magazine claims to have performed this unlikely feat for […]
Conservation officers misleading the public about polar bear problems in Churchill
https://polarbearscience.com/2023/08/16/conservation-officers-misleading-the-public-about-polar-bear-problems-in-churchill/ Canadian government-funded media outlet CBC ran a story this morning about problem polar bears in the town of Churchill, Manitoba, the self-described “Polar Bear Capital of the World” that contains some very misleading statements from Manitoba Conservation officers. (also see here) Breakup of sea ice on Hudson Bay was earlier this year than it has been […]
Climate activists are silent on polar bears because their doom-mongering blew up in their faces
https://twitter.com/StormSignalSA/status/1689215787003678720 https://polarbearscience.com/2023/08/08/climate-activists-are-silent-on-polar-bears-because-their-doom-mongering-blew-up-in-their-faces/ A Grist article last week pandered to activist polar bear specialists over their failed climate change agenda as it tried to minimize why the climate movement doesn’t talk about polar bears anymore. Apparently, the Arctic icon has “largely fallen out of fashion” through “overexposure” resulting in polar bear images invoking “cynicism and fatigue.” But that isn’t […]
15 years after ESA listing as ‘threatened’ due to sea ice loss polar bears are abundant & thriving
https://polarbearscience.com/2023/03/20/15-years-after-esa-listing-as-threatened-due-to-sea-ice-loss-polar-bears-are-abundant-thriving/ Dr. Susan Crockford Experts who used the American Endangered Species Act (ESA) to list polar bears as ‘threatened’ in May 2008 were mistaken: sea ice authorities got their predictions wrong about future ice extent and polar bear specialists erroneously declared that two-thirds of polar bears would disappear if summer sea ice declines continued unabated. […]
Bjorn Lomborg: Partisan ‘fact checkers’ spread climate-change misinformation
Bjorn Lomborg: Partisan ‘fact checkers’ spread climate-change misinformation The Wall Street Journal, 27 January 2023 Partisan “fact checks” are undermining open discourse about important issues, including climate change. Earlier this month I wrote an accurate post on Facebook about the growing polar-bear population. The post undercut alarmist climate narratives, so it was wrongly tagged as a falsehood. […]
Live Science Misleads on Extreme Weather, Tipping Points, & Polar Bears, Among Other Topics

Three claims Live Science made in its list stand out […]
