I don't give a single fuck about polar bears

Fuckin useless albino grizzlies. With all the crazy shit going on in the world, I can't believe there are still campaigns to "save the polar bears." The people who run those things are just big children. Its like watching your house burn down and you are like "Oh shit somebody please save my goldfish!"
Bitch your goldfish are gone. Your house is gone. They're called priorities, get them straight. We can't save the polar bears, we can't even save ourselves. Every dollar spent on polar bears is a dollar that could he spent planting a tree or something

Agreed. Polar bears are assholes anyways. I used to be friends with one until he beat me in a game of chess. Little prick. He took advantage of whites move first cuz hes stinkin WHITE!

We should introduce polar bears to the antarctic - that would get things moving.

The polar bears are fine its all propaganda. There's a researcher that just got fired for reporting that polar bears are thriving and their numbers are way up her research didnt fit the climate alarmist agenda.
Author: Valerie Richardson Professor Fired Over Documenting Increases In Polar Bear ... https://www.technocracy.news/university-fires-professor-who-documented-increases-in... Professor Fired Over Documenting Increases In Polar Bear Populations The religion of Scientism infects Technocrats to substitute pseudo-science for real science and blame everyone else for the results. Polar bears do not face extinction because of man-made global warming as is claimed by climate hysterics.

30 seconds of googling says the university didn't renew her unpaid adjunct position which was more or less just for show, and her research basically just showed that bans on hunting polar bears has helped there be more polar bears for the time being

The sitch is basically:
Quote:
The key danger posed by climate change is malnutrition or starvation due to habitat loss. Polar bears hunt seals from a platform of sea ice. Rising temperatures cause the sea ice to melt earlier in the year, driving the bears to shore before they have built sufficient fat reserves to survive the period of scarce food in the late summer and early fall.[127] Reduction in sea-ice cover also forces bears to swim longer distances, which further depletes their energy stores and occasionally leads to drowning.[186] Thinner sea ice tends to deform more easily, which appears to make it more difficult for polar bears to access seals.[90] Insufficient nourishment leads to lower reproductive rates in adult females and lower survival rates in cubs and juvenile bears, in addition to poorer body condition in bears of all ages.[36] Mothers and cubs have high nutritional requirements, which are not met if the seal-hunting season is too short
In addition to creating nutritional stress, a warming climate is expected to affect various other aspects of polar bear life: Changes in sea ice affect the ability of pregnant females to build suitable maternity dens.[30] As the distance increases between the pack ice and the coast, females must swim longer distances to reach favoured denning areas on land. Thawing of permafrost would affect the bears who traditionally den underground, and warm winters could result in den roofs collapsing or having reduced insulative value. For the polar bears that currently den on multi-year ice, increased ice mobility may result in longer distances for mothers and young cubs to walk when they return to seal-hunting areas in the spring.[36] Disease-causing bacteria and parasites would flourish more readily in a warmer climate.[90]
Problematic interactions between polar bears and humans, such as foraging by bears in garbage dumps, have historically been more prevalent in years when ice-floe breakup occurred early and local polar bears were relatively thin. Increased human-bear interactions, including fatal attacks on humans, are likely to increase as the sea ice shrinks and hungry bears try to find food on land.[181] Starving bear near Svalbard
The effects of climate change are most profound in the southern part of the polar bear's range, and this is indeed where significant degradation of local populations has been observed.[185] The Western Hudson Bay subpopulation, in a southern part of the range, also happens to be one of the best-studied polar bear subpopulations. This subpopulation feeds heavily on ringed seals in late spring, when newly weaned and easily hunted seal pups are abundant. The late spring hunting season ends for polar bears when the ice begins to melt and break up, and they fast or eat little during the summer until the sea freezes again.[166]
Due to warming air temperatures, ice-floe breakup in western Hudson Bay is currently occurring three weeks earlier than it did 30 years ago, reducing the duration of the polar bear feeding season. The body condition of polar bears has declined during this period; the average weight of lone (and likely pregnant) female polar bears was approximately 290 kg (640 lb) in 1980 and 230 kg (510 lb) in 2004.[166] Between 1987 and 2004, the Western Hudson Bay population declined by 22%,[187] although the population was listed as "stable" as of 2017.[45] As the climate change melts sea ice, the U.S. Geological Survey projects that two-thirds of polar bears will disappear by 2050.[188]
In Alaska, the effects of sea ice shrinkage have contributed to higher mortality rates in polar bear cubs, and have led to changes in the denning locations of pregnant females.[126] The proportion of maternity dens on sea ice has changed from 62% between the years 1985 through 1994, to 37% over the years 1998 through 2004. Thus, now the Alaskan population more resembles the world population in that it is more likely to den on land.[189] In recent years, polar bears in the Arctic have undertaken longer than usual swims to find prey, possibly resulting in four recorded drownings in the unusually large ice pack regression of 2005.[186]
A new development is that polar bears have begun ranging to new territory. While not unheard of but still uncommon, polar bears have been sighted increasingly in larger numbers ashore, staying on the mainland for longer periods of time during the summer months, particularly in North Canada, traveling farther inland.[190] This may cause an increased reliance on terrestrial diets, such as goose eggs, waterfowl and caribou,[191] as well as increased human–bear conflict.[190]

But as ice cover decreases, she claims, polar bears thrive. The ringed seals that are one of their primary food sources multiply in the warmer water, and polar bear populations have been steady or on the rise since 2005, all predictions of doom aside.
