Left-wing junk scientist demands radical changes to your lifestyle to save polar bears from CO2; also wants to allow sport hunters to repeatedly pump bullets into the hearts and lungs of polar bears

On thin ice

Derocher believes that the polar bears in western Hudson Bay are on the verge of such a collapse.

Supportive as he is of any proposal to cut greenhouse gas emissions, Derocher worries that the ban on hunting that Amstrup and his colleagues recommend would “be a serious cultural loss for the Arctic aboriginal people.”

With the exception perhaps of caribou, no other animal is as important as the polar bear is in providing food, clothing and revenue from the sports hunt. No other animal looms as large as the polar bear does in Inuit art and stories.
