The New York Times published an article Thursday claiming polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba, are “in trouble” due to global warming and that it is now “too late” to save them. The article attempted to tie its claims to the United Nations’ annual Conference of the Parties climate conference, imploring the UN to take drastic immediate action to save the polar bears. The problem is, polar bear numbers are soaring, with polar bears doing quite well in Churchill and elsewhere. There is no polar bear extinction crisis requiring UN action.
As polar bear scientist Susan Crockford points out in “State of the Polar Bear Report of 2020,” “Results of three new polar bear surveys were published in 2020. All three populations were shown to be either stable or increasing.”
“At present,” Crockford notes, “the official IUCN [International Union for Conservation of Nature] Red List global population estimate, completed in 2015, is 22,000–31,000 (average about 26,000) but surveys conducted since then, including those made public in 2020, would raise that average to almost 30,000. There has been no sustained statistically significant decline in any subpopulation.”
