I’ve said it before, but the BBC greenie fanatics are forever on the hunt for new scares, even when it’s so cold that global warming stories are scarce. Today’s alarmfest centres on the cuddly polar bear. Overpaid ecofreak scientists in Denmark have now decided that it’s not only melting polar ice that’s a threat to our ursine friend, but also nasty chemicals from industrial activity. There’s no such thing as a happy greenie, of course; if it’s not ‘climate change’, it’s breathing, farting or simply being here at all that’s putting us in peril. The BBC loves to report it all, with knobs on; note especially the rigged graph in the item, and the complete lack of mention – as usual – of alternative views, such as this, which points out that even the alarmists-in-chief, the World Wildlife Fund, say that polar bear numbers are on the up.

Why am I supposed to give a stuff about Polar bears? Many beeboids use Cocaine on a regular basis. This vile drug causes huge loss of life and misery for thousands, yet it doesn’t stop beeboids from using it.
I’m sure Beeboids would snort a white line of crushed polar bear if they could.
It’s also an ancient Chinese aphrodisiac.
I wonder if the BBC “science corraspondents” have read this new scientific discovery.
“There is no “safe” dose of cocaine and anyone taking even small amounts of the drug is dicing with death, say scientists. ”

They just can’t leave it alone. There must be a whole department inside Al Beeb charged with rooting out all the disaster scenarios being trumped up anywhere and everywhere. Do you think they get paid a big bonus for a scary story? You know, the more scary the story, the bigger the bonus. It sounds plausible.
They would do well to keep a close eye on their own future. I think in the longer term, Polar Bears are much more likely to survive than environmental writers at the BBC.
I could hardly believe it. In “Jimmy’s Global Harvest” on BBC2 at 8:00 pm, Jimmy Doherty investigated new techniques and technologies that may help to meet the increased demand for food across the planet. This week he was in Australia and he showed farmers coping with, yes, problems: drought, soil salinity etc. Not a mention of “climate change”, no pleas to stop the world, no £100 billion bungs to keep some greenie wind-farmer in luxury on taxpayers’ money; just examples of humans coping with what nature throws at them – and succeeding. This is what mankind has done throughout history – adapting to changing circumstances.
