A survey of the animals' numbers in Canada's eastern Arctic has revealed that they are thriving, not declining, because of mankind's interference in the environment.

In the Davis Strait area, a 140,000-square kilometre region, the polar bear population has grown from 850 in the mid-1980s to 2,100 today.

"There aren't just a few more bears. There are a hell of a lot more bears," said Mitch Taylor, a polar bear biologist who has spent 20 years studying the animals.

His findings back the claims of Inuit hunters who have long claimed that they were seeing more bears.

But, but, but Al Gore said they were teh doomed.

He couldn't have been lying, could he? He invented the internet afterall.

The Polar Bears are having a good time - and they know that the global warming theory (that mankind is responsible for it) is a swindle too.

I should think that, if it is better warmer in their locality, they'll be pleased it's a bit less nippy.
