Warmer in UK over weekend, cooler today (64f) but warm for this time of year.
Five more degrees higher will be classed as heatwave, with warnings to cover up, avoid dehydrating, etc.etc.due to you know what! :icon_wink:

Totally different situation today. Until animals carry guns, they cannot win!

Global warming and CO2 are helping polar bears to expand. Just look at the growing trophy hunting industry. Does that sound like they're endangered? Arctic sea life is also expanding - because more sunlight is getting into the sea (due to less ice) to grow more photo-plankton and the rest of the food chain - including fish and seals. Good grief .... climate alarmism is running amuck these days.

They were predicting the same nonsense 20-30 years ago. But now, there are more than 4Xs the # of Polar Bears than there were back then...

Care to explain that FACT?

Polar bears got together and mandated larger families? A friend told me to write this.

LOL, No, it's because of crime and lack of jobs in their home country coupled with non-enforcement of current US immigration laws and sanctuary cities offering free food, housing, medical and education.

Not even Greta Thunberg would believe your claims.

I never said endangered.
I said their numbers are basically static, and certainly not grown by the 400% you claim.
Fact is, the polar ice is forming later than usual, is not as thick, therefore making it harder for the bears to hunt their seal prey, and main diet.
I leave the hysterics to you.

"Harder" is subjective. Where's the "data" of the bear depopulation?

Last I checked, Quadrupled = 400%...

"The estimated polar bear population has quadrupled since 1950, rising from 10,000 bears in 1950 to 39,000 bears today."

Climate at a Glance: Polar Bears

They are certainly not "static"...

I think there are some trees that are older than that. Certainly many of the coral reefs that JJ states are bleached. The biblical city of Jericho dates back 8 or 9,000 years. Here's something that is more realistic to bank on-----add 6 zeros to the 6,000 and take 75% of it

What Al Gore did was act as a patron to encourage opening it up to be the incredibly successful utility that is now available to all.

But, don’t let facts get in the way of your agenda.
