Another climate alarmist embarrassment that can’t be hidden any longer.
In early October, the US Fish & Wildlife Service reversed its 2011 decision to list Pacific walrus as ‘threatened with extinction’, saying they could not “determine with certainty that walruses are likely to become endangered “in the foreseeable future.” [details below]
I have arguedthat the 2008 decision by the USFWS to list polar bears as ‘threatened’ is similarly lacking in certainty (Crockford 2017) and as for walrus, the previous determination of ‘threatened’ for polar bears was premature and should be reversed.
A prominent biology colleague and I recently put it this way in a newly published essay:
“Is it ethical or fair to the many citizens impacted directly and indirectly by the 2008 polar bear ruling for the FWS to allow polar bears to remain on the Endangered Species List?”

the ESA was taken over by animal rights (sic) organizations and in the process tried to stop civilization for proceeding. Proper experts in the threatened species area did put a safety net under and around a number of actually bad off species but dozens, if not hundreds of “snail darters” and “spotted owls” incidents prove that most of the list is bogus.
It’s WAY past time to cull the list and the misanthropes who abused it.
In their desperation and lacking any credible evidence of polar bear problems, it’s shoot-the-messenger time for the failing climate alarm industry – which only serves to draw attention to the truth 😎
Polar bears refused to die as predicted and this is how the propheseers respond
Posted on November 29, 2017
The polar bear experts who predicted tens of thousands of polar bears would be dead by now (given the ice conditions since 2007) have found my well-documented criticisms of their failed prophesies have caused them to lose face and credibility with the public.
Although the gullible media still pretends to believe the doomsday stories offered by these researchers, the polar bear has fallen as a useful icon for those trying to sell a looming global warming catastrophe to the public.

They ignored me, perhaps hoping the veracity of my arguments would not have to be addressed. But it has not turned out that way. Now, too late, they have chosen a personal attack in the journal BioScience

Best people who love animals go to veterinary school. Those who flunk out, or were never even admitted, go to work for the US Fish & Wildlife Service. The Service was established to support hunting and fishing. The Service is populated with people who HATE hunting and fishing.
Expect no rational output from Fish & Wildlife.
