Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

You are not a scientist, your are not a polar bear expert, you are not a field biologist, and you are not a researcher.
So you opinion is meaningless. Undoubtedly, you simply read a few paragraphs from a blog or an article and rushed back here to parrot it. I seriously doubt you have any of your own original, independent ideas, thoughts, or insights on polar bears.
Playing armchair expert on a message board does not cut the mustard with me.
I at least have the forthrightness to admit ignorance: it would take years of training and education as a field biologist for me to have a valid opinion on polar bears, an opinion worth listening to, let alone coming to an anonymous message board to lecture others about them.
There is a whole body of scientific literature about polar bears that would take a graduate school career to read and digest. What I do know is that the arctic is one of the most hostile environments on earth and it is no simple matter to conduct a census of polar bears - let alone to account for ephemeral temporal, seasonal, and ecological variation at multi-year scales.
And I do know from the experts that there are maybe a couple dozen subpopulations of polar bears, each with unique ecological and habitat requirements. So simply talking collectively about "polar bears" as a monolithic genus of animals in the context of climate does not cut the mustard.
I would be delighted if it were determined that polar bears are going great, and that there is no risk to their habitat and their future due to humans and human-induced climate change. But I think every sentient being knows that is wishful thinking. The threats and the risk to polar bears are real, and will probably continue over the long term if we continue to ignore climate change. I for one, am willing to defer to continued research by the experts. The opinion of obscure message board posters who have no expertise to speak on the matter means nothing to me.

I looked through numerous things behind her, the book, who published it, you name it. Her accreditation is not up to snuff. Funny how her science was about it declining, up until her Heartland institute checks started rolling in.
This part bugs me more then anything.
Crockford is a signatory of the International Conference on Climate Change's 2008 Manhattan Declaration, which states that "Carbon dioxide and other 'greenhouse gas' emissions from human activity...appear to have only a very small impact on global climate," and "Global cooling has presented serious problems for human society and the environment throughout history while global warming has generally been highly beneficial.

Deep Bore Into Antarctica Finds Freezing Ice, Not Melting as Expected
Scientists will leave sensors in the hole to better understand the long-term changes in the ice, which may have big implications for global sea level.
"
Surprising Finds
The surprises began almost as soon as a camera was lowered into the first borehole, around December 1. The undersides of ice shelves are usually smooth due to gradual melting. But as the camera passed through the bottom of the hole, it showed the underside of the ice adorned with a glittering layer of flat ice crystals—like a jumble of snowflakes—evidence that in this particular place, sea water is actually freezing onto the base of the ice instead of melting it.
“It blew our minds,” says Christina Hulbe, a glaciologist from the University of Otago in New Zealand, who co-led the expedition. The Ross Ice Shelf is considered more stable, at present, than many of West Antarctica’s other floating shelves—and this observation could help explain that: if a few inches of sea water periodically freezes onto the bottom of its ice, this could buffer it from thinning more rapidly."
