    If you google it, National Post did an amazing article on it. It is in fact not "Bullshit." In 1980 the approximate number of Polar Bears living in Baffin Island was about 800. Today, it is about 2100.

    Our native brown bears were class and unfortunately went extinct between 2500 - 2000 years ago and
    I hope they return here to Ireland along with the great auk, the Irish Elk, the Northern Capercaillie, the European Wildcat, European lynx and the European Grey wolf

    So, perhaps if the Brown Bear mates with the Polar Bear the offspring will be a Bi -Polar Bear. LOL

    Yeah, that 'lawsuit' was actually a petition which used the names of 30,000 people with any kind of science-based degree.
    And the best part? Those names were used without permission. And many of the people were dead.
    Try again, rightard!

    @22CaliberHitters Actually the Polar bear populations are less healthy. What source are you citing for saying that the populations are as high as ever? Hell, and the ice caps ARE receding, even on Mars, but to just say its not happening is BS too. Honestly all the sources I've seen show Polar Bears dying from starvation and a lot of them are eating their young during the shortened times that the Polar Ice Caps get over everything.

    man ,, how i could not see their red hair !!

  • @rackapp
    @rackapp 12 лет назад

    @tjw1963 Yet we do try to save those that are going extinct because of human actions. Saying they are not meant to be saved is implying that we didn't cause global warming that makes sea ice melt or habitat reduction in polar bear habitat. Overall protecting species is about increasing diversity in order to keep the complicated natural processes and cycles in balance.

    @Nuage151 Well, I think she meant the land that would be Ireland. It doesn't need to be Ireland that time. It's just the land. Well, that's what I think... The video states Ireland I think to make the matter looks interesting. Maybe. :P

    @Nelmistro 12 лет назад

    @dabigez357 It is true that ice caps on mars are receding too and even if humans weren't here on this planet, they would still recede. However, human CO2 and CO2 equivalents are contributing to the receding. No body said it was purely of human impact.

    @melo15813 Well, i think it's more about respect as Earth is the polar bears planet as well and if we are doing something that is killing them and making their home unsustainable for them, we should do something about it.

    After watching this video I am still asking the same question I asked beforehand.
    "How are polarbears Irish?" I mean they did say bears mixed in Ireland but HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT?!?! Seriously Nat Geo needs to get their act together or no one will take them seriously anymore...

    @melo15813 12 лет назад

    Are Polar bear important to the planet? Do we need them like some say weed need and must have bees to survive? If not then I really don't see why we should care if they go extinct. A lot of animals have gone extinct in the Earth history. Maybe I'm missing something tho.
