There have been interes...Thank you your comments. <br /><br />There have been interesting science debates over global warming/climate change and over the relative health of wild populations and ecosystems. There is nothing wrong with scientific debate, that is how science works. When how ever political interests agitate in scientific debates I begin wonder when the politics ends and science begins. There are some groups that will argue against the existence of global warming/climate change if it would mean even slightly higher energy costs. Other groups will argue against hunting even when suburban areas, like Salt Spring Island, BC can be overwhelmed by deer. Some groups will agitate for protection for the Polar bear even if populations are thriving for political reasons. <br /><br />Science and politics are often mixed in the way that many issues can become "political" issues.Baron von Feldsparhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192572254831330503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652020.post-11332726717596673092009-11-27T17:16:43.600-05:002009-11-27T17:16:43.600-05:00Here's some science (note the above article us...Here's some science (note the above article uses no scientific sources, only insults):<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Dr. Mitchell bio: http://www.fcpp.org/publication.php/2571Tim G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652020.post-90893294338366685692009-11-27T01:37:12.231-05:002009-11-27T01:37:12.231-05:00James Horner, or whatever his name is, on the Curr...James Horner, or whatever his name is, on the Current last week, said that the parties who are speaking against anthropogenic global warming are not scientists, because if they were they would be speaking in scientific journals. <br /><br />After all, if you are published in a scientific journal, you *must* be accurate. Because you're being published in a scientific journal.<br /><br />Right?<br /><br />That's the way science works. If it's not recognized now, it can't be science.Timbonoreply@blogger.com
