Agreed, Storymark, but overall it's more fun kicking Hero in the shins, at least HE has a sense of humor, warped that it is.

I'm pretty sure I didn't change my post from the time it was added to this thread. Not real sure where you're getting the idea that I did anything until after you posted. Seems to me you didn't bother reading my post, more likely.

The exact same reasoning would say: “6 years later, no new Al Qaeda attacks in the US, guess that proves there's nothing too it”. It's flawed reasoning.
Now you're comparing man caused events ( terrorist attacks ) to natural phenomena, hurricanes?

Quote:Jesus wept. You made a comment about Y2K, I replied, you asked why I bothered replying, I explained why. I'm not talking about the post where you explained yourself, I'm talking about the post before that. Please stop flogging this dead horse and get on backing up what you said earlier. Unless of course getting tied up on irrelevances is your tactic to save from doing that, in which case carry on as normal.

You know your ability to miss the point goes beyond miraculous and far into the range of the pathological.

chrisisall, I didn't reply because citizen was having nothing of it. He's given up any rational thought/disucssion/ what ever. His mind is made up,screw the facts.

Moreover, the notion of a declining polar bear population doesn’t square well available information.
A Canadian Press Newswire story earlier this year reported that, in three Arctic villages, polar bears “are so abundant there’s a public safety issue.” The local polar bear population reportedly increased from about 2,100 in 1997 to as many as 2,600 in 2004. Inuit hunters (search) wanted to be able to kill more bears because they are “fearsome predators.”
An aerial survey of Alaskan polar bears published in "Arctic" (December 2003) reported a greater polar bear density than previous survey estimates dating back to 1987.
If polar bears really are getting skinnier as the 1999 study suggested, it may actually be due to an increased population subsisting on the same level of available food. After all, the harvesting of Alaskan polar bears has been limited by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (search) and international agreements since 1972.
Sorry chrisisall, but not everyone who debunks your views is a 'neo-con' or has no background in science. Get over your ingrained prejudices and wake up. Please.

AU, thanks for the quote, but not all info on this matter concurs:

Quote:
Ice is melting there about three weeks earlier than it did 30 years ago, said Stirling, who has been studying polar bears for 35 years.
"For a polar bear, not all weeks are created equal," he said. "They are losing three weeks at the best time of the year for feeding on the ice, when seal pups are abundant and bears put on fat that they store for the four months that they have to live onshore."
Having lost this critical hunting opportunity, polar bears in western Hudson Bay weigh about 15 percent less (about 150 pounds less for an adult male) than they did 30 years ago, Stirling said.
"The bears are losing their physical condition," he said. "It is a cumulative process that is causing a steady decline in survival, particularly for cubs and sub-adults. It is causing the population to decline."
So, once again, who do you believe? I tend to go with my eyes, someone once said we should use 'em...

Quote:Signy and many others have never seen anything but recessions. If you scream recession long enough sooner or later you’re going to end up being right, no matter how big an idiot you are. Instead of forcing either of these issues into black and white packages that suit political views more than the facts, why can’t people realize both are more complex than that. Be careful about that Ace of Spades when it falls.
