FTA: Denis Simard of Environment Canada agreed:
" You have to keep in mind that the bears are not in danger at all. This is a perfect picture for climate change…you have the impression they are in the middle of the ocean and they are going to die...But they were not that far from the coast, and it was possible for them to swim...They are still alive and having fun."
Drowning Polar Bears not true.

Polar bear numbers are increasing

"polar bears are not becoming extinct as a result of decreasing Arctic ice. We know that polar bears have survived warmer periods in the past, so there is no reason to suspect they will suffer a threat of extinction now.
The chief polar bear biologist for the Canadian province of Nunavut recently wrote: “Of the 13 populations of polar bears in Canada, 11 are stable or increasing in number. They are not going extinct, or even appear to be affected at present.”
Yet if the polar bear is listed as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act because of global warming, environmentalists will be able to block the new power stations and refineries the nation desperately needs.
The photo of "stranded" polar bears came from a photographer named Amanda Byrd. She took the picture in August which is during the summer. 2 and 1/2 years after she took the picture it was put in Al Gore's movie as well as many newspapers claiming the shots show the effects of Global Warming. - scoottie, on 11/15/2008, -5/+18i would pay to watch one of these dumb asses try and put one on a polar that isnt drugged

- BaoUnit, on 11/13/2008, -3/+14The ADDI also had tigers in bulletproof vests... There is nothing more frightening. Please, for my sake and yours, do NOT.

- seantubridy, on 11/15/2008, -1/+7It's part of the new Polar Arctic Life Initiative Network.
Or PALIN, for short. - KMye, on 11/15/2008, -2/+7FTA: "ADDI Concepts conceived of their polar bear life jackets not as a solution for the endangered species, but as a means to increase awareness about global warming and inspire action."
This would be a great if polar bears were actually threatened. - Zera, on 11/15/2008, -2/+6This reminds me of when PETA successfully campaigned to have a whole herd of deer in a "white-tail deer preserve" released, but before releasing them strapped orange vests to the deer. (You know because they actually think hunters shoot wildly at anything not wearing orange, and that somehow orange vests would protect the deer)
The result was a local radio station announcing a competition to whomever could shoot the biggest buck or heaviest doe wearing an orange vest.
Granted, noone wants Polar Bears to drown, but this life vest idea is insane. The stupidity that un-checked "good intentions" can accomplish never ceases to amaze me. - Nickolassc, on 11/15/2008, -0/+4It's likely the cat will injure itself trying to get the vest off. Cat's don't like vests.
- nomadofthehills, on 11/15/2008, -5/+8Stupid.

- Traxan, on 11/15/2008, -1/+3This is the STUPIDEST idea ever, although I have little doubt environmentalists will come up with something dumber.
First, who is going to approach a polar bear and put the thing on? Oh you'll tranquilize it? Great, you might kill cubs in the process.
And second, how is the bear supposed to dive and get food when it's swimming?
Bush is always accused of being hostile to science but I swear the left is so scientifically clueless as to be dangerous and a menace. - DickyT83, on 11/15/2008, -1/+3Jeeze, looks like a research paper.
- Junior612, on 11/15/2008, -3/+5How bout we place those huge rubber duckies from earlier today all around the arctic circle and the polar bears can build colonies in/on/around them.

WWF Resorts To Deception In Climate Fearmongering http://www.infowars.com/?p=5440
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Tuesday, October 21, 2008
Global warming fearmongers the World Wildlife Fund have been caught in a new act of deception after citing shrinking Arctic ice coverage to suggest climate change is “faster and more extreme” than first thought, while failing to acknowledge that Arctic sea ice expanded over an area bigger than the size of Germany during the year of 2008.
“The Arctic Ocean is losing sea ice 30 or more years ahead of the projections presented in the Fourth Assessment Report (Stroeve et al, 2007). There is near consensus in the Arctic scientific community that significant aspects of this hastened loss of sea ice are caused by feedback mechanisms, the effects of which had been severely underestimated in the report,” states the WWF report.
The graphic depiction used to illustrate the point in a London Telegraph article shows Arctic sea ice coverage between 1979 and 2007 and a clear reduction in ice coverage.
The report’s author, geoscientist Dr Tina Tin told CNN: “Arctic sea ice is melting much faster than everybody had been expecting.
The problem with this statement, as well as using a 2007 satellite image to illustrate the point, is that Arctic sea ice coverage massively expanded during 2008 by a whopping 30 per cent - an area bigger than the size of Germany.
According to collated data from the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and the University of Illinois, Arctic ice extent was 30 per cent greater on August 11, 2008 than it was on the August 12, 2007. This is a conservative estimate based on the map projection.
The 30 per cent increase coincided with a record low in sunspot activity over the same period, again proving that climate change is driven by natural catalysts as it has been throughout history.
“Sunspot counts are at a 50-year low,” says solar physicist David Hathaway of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. “We’re experiencing a deep minimum of the solar cycle.”

Which is why we are seeing evidence of natural global cooling all over the planet - Alaskan glaciers growing for the first time in 250 years, unprecedented ice storms in Kenya, China experiencing its coldest winter in 100 years, many parts of the U.S. suffering their coldest April on record along with record snowfall, Britain suffering its coldest Easter in decades, Sydney Australia suffering its coldest summer in 50 years.
All the evidence is screaming out that the planet has now embarked on a cooling trend to follow the natural warming trend that caused Arctic ice to shrink in the first place, just as natural global warming caused Greenland to be green thousands of years ago when it was a lush forest and when temperatures were on average 5 °C (9 °F) higher than today.
For the WWF and the London Telegraph to use 2007 data and completely discount a gigantic 30 per cent increase in Arctic sea ice coverage from August 2007 to August 2008 is not only misleading, it is completely dishonest and atypical of the politicized agenda-driven global warming lobby.
The deception has echoes of the “stranded polar bear” hoax when global warming alarmists attempted to use an emotional photograph of “stranded polar bears” to convince people that global warming was melting ice caps and wiping out cute cuddly animals. The fact that the photos were taken in summer, when ice caps naturally melt, that the polar bears were close to the shore, and the fact that polar bears can swim a distance of around a hundred miles at a time, was not pointed out. - inactive, on 11/15/2008, -7/+8what a complete load of *****.
- paker, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2Polar bears starving due to melting icebergs? Since when do they eat ice?? They eat seals.
- sunggddzz, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1I will read the links provided to prove this is false. But I hope true global warming problems receive equal enthusiasm.
- AlanLivingston, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1It's an Industrial Decorating... Um... I mean "Design" firm. Can't you just imagine all the fun creating storyboards for this concept?
- atmenterprises, on 11/15/2008, -5/+6Where's Greenfyre? Maybe his head finally exploded over the fact that polar bears just aren't disappearing due to global warming.
- paker, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1YEAY!!!!!
- scoottie, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2no not anyone just stupid people like those that design life jackets for polar bears or those ***** that climb over the fence to get a hat when they visit the zoo.
- chrisduser, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Just who is going to change all those diapers?
- psyonic1, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2If LOST has taught me anything it's that Polar Bears can not only survive, but thrive in a tropical environment.
- AndrewMoyer, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2Addressing the second half of the article...
Big cats already sit around and pant all day in the shade. I'm sure adding a big black bullet proof vest over its entire body might have a slim chance of helping reduce injury from a freakin' rifle round, but it would probably make the tiger die sooner from other complications. - Spinducky08, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2And HOW is a polar bear to sneak up on their prey, as they blend in with their surroundings - which is WHITE, all the while wearing an ORANGE life preserver?
Once again, good intentions by humans making things WORSE. - specialbuddy1, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2The commercials on tv said that polar bears can't swim. They must be telling me the truth.
- NickLee808, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Good thing it wasn't. More lulz for me.
- trashsportcat, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1If it would help them to outswim the sharks with lasers - why not?
- inactive, on 11/15/2008, -3/+4Global warming junk science, lies, and hysteria. Buried for proclaiming environmental bullcrap on a level that would make even the Goracle blush.
- Wolfgarden, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1No man they're *****' awesome (Sarcasm)
- protodon, on 11/15/2008, -3/+4these comments suck
- Finalreminder, on 11/15/2008, -3/+4Can you imagine this planet if the environmentalists were around 250,000,000 years ago?
We'd have T-rex, Brachylophosaurus, Saurophaganax, Diplodicus, Megladon, Dire Wolf, European Lion, Giant Sloth, Sabre Tooth, Mammoth and god knows what else all competing for the same resources.
Why?
Because Environmentalists think they can run the eco-system better than Nature can. Environmentalists think they're 'giving nature a helping hand'
Animals die and fade away, others take their place. Just because you cant conceive a geological time scale and witness the evolution of new species does not mean it isn't happening.
Animals adapt or die to the changing environment whether that be a gradual change or a cataclysmic event of Earth shattering change from space, Volcano's or 4x4's - inactive, on 11/15/2008, -1/+1Are they planning on sustaining this effort until global warming reverses itself? Be it caused by humans or not, the trend is unlikely to do a 180 any time soon.
- Jacare, on 11/15/2008, -3/+3polar bears are listed as "threatened" not "endangered" and there is little evidence to suggest that they are even currently threatened
- pixelpimp, on 11/15/2008, -1/+1we should just take a bunch of trash and make it into floating island and anchor them in the area.
- inactive, on 11/15/2008, -2/+2You'd pay to watch someone get mauled by a wild animal? Yikes.
