According to Manitoba Conservation, at least four cases of polar bear
cannibalism have been confirmed in the northeastern Manitoba community
of Churchill this year. Several more cases are being investigated.
Scientist Andy Derocher, who has spent more than 25 years studying polar
bears in the western Hudson Bay area, said the water usually freezes by
mid-November, allowing the bears to drift away from the mainland and
hunt seals. Warmer-than-normal temperatures this year have delayed that,
he said.
"The cannibalism events are really just a manifestation of the effects
of global warming on the bears," Derocher said. "It's an act of
desperation; it's what they do when they can't find something else to
eat. . . . The animals are winding down on the stored body fat that they
have."

Yet the polar bear population is still increasing.

Another statement of fact with no supporting references... next!
His own government, under Bush, regulated the Polar Bear as a
"Threatened Species"
Canada has not done so as yet. And there have been regional
increases in a few areas of the north, but over all the population is
threatened and Polar Bears need ice floes to hunt. No ice? No way
to get to seals. No seals? No polar bears. And there is no doubt
that the ice in the north is declining. Why else would there be so
much talk over how shipping is open for the first time ever for
massive freighters, and the debate over who owns what resources is a
high priority up there.
Polar bears resemble Fox News viewers in Canada. There may be a
robust number concentrated in certain areas like the outskirts of
Alberta metropolitan areas, and Crap Detector in Toronto. But the
herd (species?) is hardly robust here. :)

Oh... seals are the Polar Bear's only food ???
Really?
Andrea has a lot to learn... or else she knows and is
just trying to mis-lead people.
Polar Bears also will eat muskox, reindeer, birds,
eggs, rodents, shellfish, crabs, and other polar bears, and also
plants, including berries, roots, and kelp among others, (and the odd
human.)
Polar Bears are unable to adapt to changing
conditions ? ? ? Really ? ? ?
Where you aware that the Polar Bear itself is an
adaptation of one or more populations fo Brown Bears to cooler
conditions?
Either you are simply ignorant of Polar Bears, or you are
making a poor attempt to mislead people.
Please make an attempt to read the whole thread.
Maybe you could enlighten us as to how the Polar Bear survived the
Eemian when the global average temperature was 5 degrees warmer or
more then it is now. About 125,000 years ago. The tree line was also
about 200 - 300 miles further north, it was so warm.
Apparently our caveman ancestors and the Polar Bear and coral reefs
survived it.
Here is a repeat for you.
1. Seals are only a part of the Polar Bear's diet.
2. Polar Bears can go for months without eating. Living off their fat
stores.
3. Among the Polar Bears other foods are muskox, reindeer, birds,
eggs, rodents, shellfish, crabs, and other polar bears, and also
plants, including berries, roots, and kelp among others.
4. Polar Bears will adapt... as they have in the past. As a matter
of fact, the Polar Bear is an adaption of a population of Brown Bears
many many tens of thousands of years ago that adapted to colder
conditions.
5. Polar Bears lived through the Eemian.. 5 - 10 degrees warmer then
now. They lived through the Roman Warm Period and the Medieval Warm
Period and others. They adapt.
6.. As we now know, Polar Bears, and other animals, and coral
reefs.... things that the AGW Alarmist tell us are in dire danger
from a degree or two warming (that happened since the Little Ice Age
ended) well, it turns out that they are able to adapt to changing
climate
conditions much better then we were initially led to believe.
That information should not have surprised us as they have
survived many many climate changes in the past much more severe then
this one. Some of those changes were as much as ten degrees in a
couple of decades.... much faster then now...(Abrupt Climate Change)
and some were much slower then now.
Adaptation in one thing that life is very good at.
bhahahahhahahahahahahhaha, what a bunch of dimwitted socilaist propaganda.
This has to be the biggest conspiracy theory yet to come forth from
kooks...I guess next the mainstream media is going to be claiming humans are
starving too and dropping dead in the streets and so they are eating babies
to keep alive.........
I have never in my life seen so many stupid people in my life who beleive
this crap..
Too bloody funny..
Yeah, Mark Hansel. When you weren't into "The Bird Flu", you were into "The
Pig Flu" and when the emails came out, you dropped the "Pig Flu" and were into
the "global warming conspiracy".
And, in between when you were sucking Ken Wiebe's dick to get on the Internet,
you were bitching about "The NAFTA Highway".
You are a loser.
You have no cred.
And, you live on government money, but claim to hate socialists.
You are a fucking joke.
No cred.
And please send Ken Wiebe my way.
I will twist off his head, piss in his mouth, and turn him into a Grecian Water
Fountain.
Wow and here is another socilaist kook, blowing smoke from his ass again,
who will do anything to blow government propaganda.... All because this
dimwit had it's brain removed....Gee Petey, if you have all this proof about
people, why have you not posted your facts right here, right now to show
your a stand up guy....
Oh I know why you can't, because you fruads have been using fruad for so
long, that you buy any bullshit line as long as it leads you to your
socilaist utopia world where global government has you praying to a goat
god...bbhahahahaha
So what your really saying is, you will suck his dick, and let him cum in
your face and you want him to give you a golden shower on the street showing
how you are his slave....I knew you could come out of the closet as a gay
fruitcake...way to go guy....
>
No, I'm saying that I will twist off his sorry little head, and skull fuck him.
Pissing my bladder all the way.
Got a problem?
Again. You with "The socialist" shit.
Laughable. Especially comparing me to you.
A runt.
Have you ever served your country?
I hear that you're an American, living in Canada because he's afraid.
I hear that you don't earn a living. I hear that you suck from the social
saftey net.
I do know for certain, that you are a kook. A paranoid asshole and an
attention whore. A joke.
Rightards have some hacked Email that prove AGW is nothing but a giant
conspiracy, even bigger than Obama's muslim birth certificate
conspiracy crooked judges won't allow anyone to see.

I personally can't understand much of what Hansel writes... just pure
gobbledygook from a babbling idiot.
Now you're an expert on the adaptability of life. In the last two
centuries hundreds of species have gone extinct... care to explain why
they didn't adapt?
He's 'comedy relief'
But still has the corpse of Terry Pearson in his freezer for influence.
Hell. It's not earth that is in jeproady. The planet has lost species for
hundreds of millions of years, and fought back.
It's mankind that is in jeaporody.
We've only been here for a moment in time. The planet will live on.
Mankind, as Homosapien, has only been here for 60,000 years.
The dinosaurs existed for hundreds of million years. But were eventually wiped
out. They were far more successful than mankind so far.
100 million years from now? The only idea of us may be what exists in garbage
dumps.
Yes. I'm Sorry.
Ann Coulter will not be around then.
And nobody will blame Obama.
Did I say ALL life? Species disappear for one reason or another.
Others appear....some change. some simpley adapt... Isn't life and
the universe amazing ?
But yes.. in general life is good at adapting... life on Earth has
grown and survived much more disaster then we could ever throw at it.
I think it would be great for all totalitarians and dictatorships to
disappear. Wouldn't mind if they go extinct at all. :)
But even you must admit.. that evolution is a form of adaptation.
Things change... even if you think if is incoveneint for you.

Sounds like you're living in some kind of la-la land.
Yet you parrot the controlled media. How intelligent!
> Yet you parrot the controlled media. How intelligent!
GreyCloud, you're being absurd. The media doesn't control when Hudson
Bay freezes, nor what bears eat when they can't get out on the ice.
Wow Petey, you are sounding like those global elite kooks, who want
population control programs to get rid of 90 percent of human on
earth.....Like I said Petey you are a kook.
Isn't that where you socilaists live in your fanasty world, called the big
uptopia...
hahahahahhahahahahahha, global warming kooks...too funny.
Wow you sure have mental problems all right....Now I can see why you need
some real help, with your gayness"
Maybe you should join a group and come out of the closet...
Wow, you sure are a very angry socilaist person...
Have you tryed angry management or something like that, because this globa
lwarming and .
But Comrade Chimpy, isn't that what you sound like, with all your national
socilaist propaganda... you push all the time....
What's it going to be next Chimpy, space aliens have been giving you an anal
probe....
Is that what global warming is Petey....I knew there was something funny
about the whole silly stuff you socilaists were pushing as a new cult..
this whole Global warming scam about bring a one world government kookery to
life....

What are YOU doing to help YOUR polar bears, Canadian?
Guffaw!!! How absolutely in the dark you are. Are you a mushroom perhaps?
So are rectal warts like you infesting usenet.
Polar bears are like liberals. They eat their children.
Bwahahahahahahhahaa!!
You have have rectal warts, Gee man you better find a cure, maybe global
warming can cure that for you too.
