Seal Numbers Increased 700% Since The 1970s – But Models Project Future Declines Due To Sea Ice Loss
By Kenneth Richard on 21. June 2021
Sea ice has been declining in the Canadian North Atlantic since the 1970s, and yet the harp seal population has been estimated to have risen from a little over 1 million in 1971 to about 7.5 million in 2012 to 2019. But model projections suggest the seal populations will decrease in the future due to…declining sea ice.
The inherent inconsistencies of climate science alarmism appears to have escaped the notice of Canadian researchers (Hammill et al., 2021) reporting on the fate of harp seals in the Canadian North Atlantic.
Despite pointing out that models and aerial surveys have shown seal populations increasing ~seven-fold since the early 1970s in this region – including rising from 5.1 million in 2011 to over 7 million by 2019 – the modeling suggests that sea-ice-dependent seals will experience a dramatic population decline in the coming decades.
