The Polar Bears Are Just Fine

But if you are one of the world's leading experts on polar bears like Dr Mitchell Taylor and you state the facts, you will be barred from an international convention on polar bears because your facts clash with the received orthodoxy of the global warmists. And that is that the polar bears are doomed, case closed, science be damned.

Dr Taylor's work has shown that polar bear populations are rising, not falling, and 30 years studying the Arctic has led him to conclude Arctic warming is caused by changing currents and winds and not by humans.
"Dr Taylor was told that his views running "counter to human-induced climate change are extremely unhelpful". His signing of the Manhattan Declaration – a statement by 500 scientists that the causes of climate change are not CO2 but natural, such as changes in the radiation of the sun and ocean currents – was "inconsistent with the position taken by the PBSG".
Sounds an awful lot like Carbongate.
