So... The Polar Bears aren't ACTUALLY "disappearing?" They're getting FAT?

Apparently, they're simply migrating to where the food is, and with more open water, they're chowing down! Article . Quote from the article: I knew I was in trouble when the biologist from the Manitoba Conservation Department sat down next to me. "The bears look good," he said. "I haven't seen them this fat in years." Another quote from the article: But after months of reporting and hundreds of bear sightings, I kept running up against an inconvenient truth: There were a lot of well-meaning, well-credentialed scientists, wildlife officers and local experts who simply didn't believe that polar bears were one ice cube away from extinction. And they had the numbers to prove it. Which was good news for the bears even if it was terrible news for their careers as symbols of environmental doom. My observation: So who's lying? Well-fed bear populations do not decline. They grow. They also migrate TO WHERE THE FOOD IS! So, perhaps the counts being reported to the media are limited to those areas traditionally inhabited by the bears. The numbers appear to be dwindling as the bears head for a better smorsgasboard. FOOD (ha-ha) for thought! Forfeiting science for a pseudo-scientific "cause" like "Save the Polar Bears!" is the same, Tusenfem-like crap that got me repeatedly suspended on BAUT for my anti-AGW comments, and which lead to my eventual banning on that nonscience forum. I heartened to see scientists telling the truth for a change instead of trying to milk the Global Warming Government Cash Cow, or worse, banning members from forums because their comments threaten their illicit cow which they themselves have created.
