Polar bear expert reveals bears are doing fine; BANNED from “man-made global warming” conference

No wonder the pretend scientists who lead the “man-made global warming” charge idiotically and unscientifically claim that “the science is settled!”, and “the debate is over!”, and “we’re not almost exactly like totalitarian fascists!”, other such tripe.  Those Orwellians only allow the “correct” views to be heard.  They’re much like Canada’s “human rights” commissions in that regard. 

And therefore it’s absolutely no wonder the liberal news media isn’t all over this story:

Polar bear expert barred by global warmists
Mitchell Taylor, who has studied the animals for 30 years, was told his views ‘are extremely unhelpful’ , reveals Christopher Booker.

Over the coming days a curiously revealing event will be taking place in Copenhagen. Top of the agenda at a meeting of the Polar Bear Specialist Group (set up under the International Union for the Conservation of Nature/Species Survival Commission) will be the need to produce a suitably scary report on how polar bears are being threatened with extinction by man-made global warming.

This is one of a steady drizzle of events planned to stoke up alarm in the run-up to the UN’s major conference on climate change in Copenhagen next December. But one of the world’s leading experts on polar bears has been told to stay away from this week’s meeting, specifically because his views on global warming do not accord with those of the rest of the group.

Dr Mitchell Taylor has been researching the status and management of polar bears in Canada and around the Arctic Circle for 30 years, as both an academic and a government employee. More than once since 2006 he has made headlines by insisting that polar bear numbers, far from decreasing, are much higher than they were 30 years ago. Of the 19 different bear populations, almost all are increasing or at optimum levels, only two have for local reasons modestly declined.

Dr Taylor agrees that the Arctic has been warming over the last 30 years. But he ascribes this not to rising levels of CO2 – as is dictated by the computer models of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and believed by his PBSG colleagues – but to currents bringing warm water into the Arctic from the Pacific and the effect of winds blowing in from the Bering Sea. …

Hat tip to “fawlty”

Also see how Obama’s Democratic Party-led congress passed his “man-made global warming” bill yesterday without even remotely reading the 1,300 pages of it, exactly as they did (and didn’t read) the nearly trillion-deficit-dollar “stuimulus” bill: 

House passes climate-change bill

Democrats narrowly passed historic climate and energy legislation Friday evening that would transform the country’s economy and industrial landscape.

But the all-hands-on-deck effort to protect politically vulnerable Democrats by corralling the minimum number of votes to pass the bill, 219-212, proves that there are limits to President Barack Obama’s ability to use his popularity to push through his legislative agenda. Forty-four Democrats voted against the bill, while just eight Republicans crossed the aisle to back it.

It still has to go through a Senate vote, probably in September.  Obama is already pitching it like a snake oil salesman. 

Obama peddles climate bill to Senate
Warns of ‘misinformation,’ insists legislation promotes economic growth

President Obama, handed a crucial victory Friday night with the House of Representatives’ approval of a sweeping climate-change bill, urged the Senate on Saturday to disregard “misinformation” and pass the legislation.

“Don’t believe the misinformation out there that suggests there is somehow a contradiction between investing in clean energy and economic growth,” the president said in his weekly Saturday address. “It’s just not true.”
