alt Hacker NewsTo be clear, I have not changed my claim. I am merely point out that even the polar bear people say that it is not in decline and, for some reason, refuse to say what their own data says, which is global population is on the rise. From their data from the region with most bears:
Subpopulation estimate and uncertainty - 2644 (95% CI = 1899–3592)
Long term change - Very likely increased (1973-2015)
I am not making up these claims. I am reading the very words and data from the people you are quoting.
I am reading and quoting your very words.
> The polar bear population has steadily been increasing since the 1960s. Basically double what it was.
Then:
> You will find that the population has been stable globally.
Can you resolve the apparent conflict between these two statements?
