Is global warming causing the polar bears to go through something completely new?

Question

Environmentalists are trying to guilt trip people by saying carbon emissions are causing warming and that warming is causing the polar bears to endure hardship. They could become extinct. This is true with every other animal, but polar bears have seen their time on the discovery channel the most.

Lets say for instance, in the time of the vikings settling on greenland and farming. Wasnt the climate warmer in those times, and didnt the polar bears withstand those temperatures? I know this may be new to some Al Gore/An Inconvenient Truth watchers, because the data used is conveniently picked.

Thoughts? I dont want an "is global warming real" blog. I want to know what you think about the time of the Vikings, the climate there, and how those polar bears managed to survive without the discovery channel pointing out there hardships.

Answer 1

Are you suggesting that it was warmer in Iceland around 900 AD........

I have never heard of any such fact.

I never saw the Al Gore thing, but I will agree that certain facts are often omited...for example I often see photos of glaciers that are now smaller...the reporters claim the original photo was taken several years ago....but strategically omit to inform WHAT SEASON THE COMPARABLE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN,........!!!!

Was one taken in the summer and one in the winter.......this should be confirmed before ALL else. for obviously, if I took a photo of my house from the winter of 98' and compared it to a photo of the summer of 04'...it would look like h**l has come for it's claim.

However, I would also argue that seeing the cloud of CO2 that has hoverd over cities like LA and New York, everyday, all the time for decades...infact centuries.......and now cities like Bejing, Hong Kong, New Delhi...are adding even more.....and to say this will have no ill effect on the climate is foolish.

the best way to see the temperature from 900 AD is to view core samples of the earth (this is often done with ice samples) and I know of no scientist who will confirm you're suspicion that the earth was warmer then.

Answer 2

Polar bears have been around for thousands of years, including living through the last interglacial, which was, at its peak, several degrees warmer than today. Even during our interglacial, temperatures have been several degrees warmer than today. I wouldn't worry about polar bears

Answer 3

what is the environazis obsession with polar bears. polar bears are not our friends. they are not cute, they are not cuddly. polar bears look at humans as lunch.  if you dont believe me, just wander out where they are and see how long it takes for one to give you a huggy huggy. environazis are not the brightest people .

Answer 4

Polar bears are the last thing we should be worried about.  Global warming will bring droughts to many areas of the world

where population growth is already causing problems.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't move to Arizona, Las Vegas, or any place that's having problems with water right now.

People having to pay hundreds of dollars a month for water bills will do more than any cute, fuzzy, poster-animal could ever do.

global warming is a hoax purposed by some democratic cry baby
