Populations couldn't be affected by tighter controls on hunting...I mean "harvesting", could it?
Which brings up the point of wondering what's your point with the polar bears? I never said bear populations are barometers of the global warming you're so desperate to deny.
You're a funny guy, ice melting, and you deny. You offer up 'data' about how faulty the sensors used to measure global temps are, yet when you hear about some cooler temperatures, you're quick to start spewing about a cooling trend.
Why not get a grip? Climate change, as I've said before, results from any of several factors, including C02.
