Good news study on Chukchi polar bears is unpublished | polarbearscience
So, it turns out that what these expert polar bear biologists “believed” to be the case – without any data to back it up – is not actually true. Even with “sea ice loss [at] one of the highest levels in the Arctic,” polar bears are doing just fine. Sort of makes you wonder what else polar bear experts “believe” to be true but actually isn’t.

However, what really popped out at me was the tossed-off comment that the results of this potentially game-changing study for US polar bears (since the Chukchi subpopulations is shared between the US and Russia) have not yet been published. Nor are we told who did the study or when, even though it is complete enough for Regehr to be discussing the results with a journalist.

Finally, some good news to report, but no peer-reviewed study to quote or examine.

Again, results are in but we are not allowed to see the data.

Holy CRAP!” says reader Ralph Fato. “More than 1900 weather records in the last 5 days, and only 60 record highs.”

Global warming? How blind can they be?

According to the late U.K. climatolgist H. H. Lamb, one of the greatest climatologists the world has ever seen, these sorts of wet conditions can be the harbinger of an ice age.

Imagine that. Weeks to go before the election and the Department of Energy has restructured its $465 million loan to the electric-car company to make sure it didn’t run out of cash.
Climate Common Sense: Antarctica Sea Ice theory triggers BS detectors!
These are the same people who came up with a theory to prove that "snowmageddon" in the US was also caused by global warming so they have form in the silly theory area. These people have been, are and will be an incredible stain on the name of science for generations to come and the only consolation is that when the climate house of cards collapses and it will, most of these charlatans will be out of a job. Seth Borenstein gives his "cockeyed" explanation of the cockeyed science theory .
