Thanks to Kirby Ubben for this link. Now all you hysterics go and read the numerous pieces here with their links then shut the fuck up about AGW causing polar bear extinction.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that the polar bear population is currently at 20,000 to 25,000 bears, up from as low as 5,000-10,000 bears in the 1950s and 1960s. A 2002 U.S. Geological Survey of wildlife in the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain noted that the polar bear populations “may now be near historic highs.” The alarm about the future of polar bear decline is based on speculative computer model predictions many decades in the future. And the methodology of these computer models is being challenged by many scientists and forecasting experts.

"shut the fuck up" ?? is this the o' reilly factor? will glaciers be able to keep up with their healthy lifetimes?
i just finished your book 4/Cormac "Polity Agent" which took forever to read as i kept getting bogged down by the science, or something. "The Skinner" is the first one i've read and it's still my fave. i pick up copies all the time to hand out to people. Jain tech will prob never be wiped out methinks.
I read an article on the BBC News website back in December which mentioned the discovery of a polar bear jawbone dating back 110,000 to 130,000 years. Which would mean that polar bears have survived at least one interglacial period when it was a lot warmer than now.
