Polar bears 'thriving as the Arctic warms up' | International News | News | Telegraph
Recall that we were being told the polar bears were dying off by drowning due to melting ice caused by global warming, and it's all our fault. Now an actual count of polar bears shows that they are thriving. In one 140,000 sq. kilometer region, there are 2100 polar bears versus 850 in the mid 1980s. As one polar bear biologist put it, "There aren't just a few more bears. There are a hell of a lot more bears."

But wait! That's our fault too. You see, "mankind's interference in the environment" is to blame.

Do you get the sense that for some people, no matter what happens in nature, it is a sign of impending doom and proof of human-caused global warming?
