Modelled prediction of a 'set to decline' is not scientific evidence that #polarbears are currently in trouble. PB specialists use implausible computer models based on failed assumptions.
Nature is amazing: polar bears thriving despite 15 yrs of 50% less sea ice levels than 1979
Modelled prediction of future 'dying planet' is not scientific evidence that a crisis currently exists. #polarbear specialists have pulled the same trick. Polar bears are currently thriving: implausible computer models based on failed assumptions portend an imagined future crisis
