Arctic scientists, hunters meet to discuss harmful research methods

Well it's about time! No grant money for you!!

Now we know what's happening with the polars,the damn researchers got them all stoned and then harass them.

I like the way they do the grizzly study's here now,they put up a kill and come back the next few days and collect the hair they find,the DNA gives them all kinds of info on bear migrations.

I tend to believe the Innuit on this one,notice all the articles posted about climate change affecting the polars but no one ever mentions the researchers.

Come on Ziggy you know that the Innuit know nothing about polar bears, they only live up there, the researchers went to school

No money in polar bears but plenty of money in global warming stories.

The Innuit are starting to realize it's just a way for some more kablunas to get some grant money.
Now that they have heavily regulated polar bear hunts they are starting to shoot them in "self defense shooting's". It's a sort of protest against the new restriction's.

These researchers dont go out on the tundra either,they fly in from the city and then take a chopper out and chase the bears down,do their damage and fly back to their cozy hotel in the city for the night.

Time to ban the researchers from the arctic,that might help the bear population.

In 3 years I met one expert up there,he was with the govt. and was doing his monthly tour of the Kivallik.
He stopped in camp and had dinner and we talked about the bears.

As far as he was concerned there was no concern.

I don't think there'd be too much impact now. Around 2030, it'll become more apparent. Around 2050 they'll be scrambling to figure out what to do. Around 2100 you'll see some populations decimated.

Decimated from what?
Being run down by researcher's in choppers?

yes, you're clearly quite excited about this one. This is what the fourth, fifth time you've posted on it. I can't say I'm very impressed with that approach either. They are obsessed with their radio collars and such. However, I don't think the tranquilizing would present the same level of risk as declining sea ice would.

They swim rather well,melting ice would help them if anything.

And if you watch the tape in slow motion and backwards you can see the officers are actually trying to help Rodney King up.

What do you think they do in the summer when the ice melts?
I think the melting ice would increase the population,easier access to food etc.

Hey, and maybe the tranq guns teach them to run faster!
