Global warming is killing polar bears!
Everybody knows it's true, right? Global warming is bad for children, kittens, unicorns and other all-natural, wholesome sentient beings. See, the papers have been ejimicating us on the dangers.
You see, everybody knows global warming -- the fault of Americans in their bloody SUVs -- is destroying the planet, and the polar bears are the canaries in the coal mine. And those poor, snowy-white cute fellows don't belong in dank, dark, sooty coal mines.
So, what are you going to do about the scientifically-proven fact that global warming is going to make the polar bears extinct?
Even the U.S. Congress is getting with the program, holding hearings on adding the creatures to the endangered species list.
What?
You heard what?
Pictures of a polar bear floating precariously on a tiny iceberg have become the defining image of global warming but may be misleading, according to a new study.
A survey of the animals' numbers in Canada's eastern Arctic has revealed that they are thriving, not declining, because of mankind's interference in the environment.
In the Davis Strait area, a 140,000-square kilometre region, the polar bear population has grown from 850 in the mid-1980s to 2,100 today.
"There aren't just a few more bears. There are a hell of a lot more bears," said Mitch Taylor, a polar bear biologist who has spent 20 years studying the animals.
His findings back the claims of Inuit hunters who have long claimed that they were seeing more bears.
Finding facts to be damnably inconvenient, the eco-fanatics explain that the numbers of bears are increasing -- despite global warming -- thanks to the efforts of (wait for it) ecologists!
Sacre merde!
What a load of hooey.
At least Emily Litella had the grace, when proven to be a buffoon, to say, "Never mind."

I remember about 20 years ago the big scare was land fills. We were going to run out of room for garbage, and it was all the used diapers. We were going to drown ourselved in soiled disposable diapers, plastic bottles and styrofoam cups/packaging.
Nat'l Geographic followed an archeologist as he went digging in some landfills with a core sample drill. The results of what actually fills a landfill were surprising. The majority of what is in a landfill is newspaper. It can't break down because it isn't exposed to the air. And the diapers, bottles and cups? Less than 1%. Why? because they can be compacted by the weight of everything else.
The eco-wackos are always searching for some bugaboo to scare us into more gov't.
