That is me in front of the ice which is the sea. You try to tell me what I believe. You can't. So I will. I believe scientists have and agenda to prove something. They go out and find data to support their theory. They don't go out to find data that doesn't support their theory. There is proof of intervention by gov officials to coerce scientists to change data to support the gov's agenda. I believe scientists by the hundreds saying it is cyclical and showing how it is cyclical. I believe what I see. 2 out of 3 years I went up to the top of Alaska for work and saw this scene. In a very short time the ice will move out and the bears with it. Then it will come back and the bears with it. Yes there are times when the ice melts. It freezes again. I believe there are more bears now than 50 years ago because the data fish and game biologists provide, prove it.

WARMING WORLD HAS INCREASED POLAR BEAR NUMBERS
Environmental lobbyists have taken a long leap of logic to posit that human-caused global warming will melt most of the ice at the North Pole within 50 years and that without the ice, polar bears will be unable to survive as a species, says H. Sterling Burnett, senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis.
Fortunately, both for policy and the polar bears, anecdotal stories about polar bear cannibalism and drowning do not reflect the population trend as a whole:
* Since the 1970s, while the world was warming, polar bear numbers increased dramatically from around 5,000 to as many as 25,000 today.
* Historically, polar bears have thrived in temperatures even warmer than at present -- during the medieval warm period 1,000 years ago and during the Holocene Climate
* Optimum between 5,000 and 9,000 years ago.
In fact, Mitchell Taylor, a biologist with Nunavut Territorial government in Canada, pointed out in testimony to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that modest warming may be beneficial to bears since it creates better habitats for its main food sources. Further, Taylor thinks that where polar bear weight and numbers are declining, arctic warming isn't the cause, but rather too many bears are competing for food.
Ironically, says Burnett, the World Wildlife Fund, while arguing that polar bears are at risk from global warming, presented data that actually bolsters Taylor's theory:
* According to the WWF there are 22,000 polar bears in about 20 distinct populations worldwide.
* Of those 20, only two populations -- accounting for 16.4 percent of the total number of bears -- are decreasing, and they are in areas where air temperatures have actually fallen.

You want to believe what you want fine. You want socialism? Fine. Then you pay for it and let the rest of us alone. All you socialists can pay for the 'needy'. Most are not as needy as you seem to believe. Most have had the same opportunities and CHOSE not to take advantage and you can pay for it. This is nothing more than another control and tax tactic by the left. Period. That is what I believe. Cap and trade is another tax. Man is not causing this cyclical event.
John Coleman, the founder of the weather channel has some insight on this.
