In Al Gore's film an Inconvenient Truth, there is a heart-rending sequence on the plight of the polar bears, doomed by the vanishing Artic ice.

The latest studyby the US National Biological Service finds that polar bears in Alaska are increasing in numbers to the limit that their environment can sustain. This confims a report last year by Mitchell Taylor that of the 13 polar bear groups in eastern Canada 11 are increasing in numbers. Poor Al possibly another losing campaign.

    I don't know where you get your information or what your purpose is in misleading folks, but there is overwhelming evidence that the polar icecaps are melting (the environment polar bears live in) and that polar bears are in danger of going extinct. This is not a myth.....for more information check out this link:

      One other thing, Inconvient Truth was a success because there is SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE (physical evidence) to support global warming. I know you don't care for liberals but come on already.

        First of all, Starrman, there is no US Government Agency called the "US National Biological Service." So I have to assume one of four possibilities: 1] You're making this up (right-wingers lie all the time); 2] You're reading this from some right-wing source (like NewsMax) that is making it up or is disgracefully lax in its research; 3] You've read about an organization called the "US National Biological Service" and have assumed it is a US Government agency, but is probably an ad hoc agency funded by corporations; or 4] you're just loony.

        Any of those four are plausible explanations.

          Fallon,

          You are truly a hoot. You teach media....and you are so bled out liberal that everything is to your right and you discount everything to the right of you. Your 'plausibility' is well below zero but I'm sure you play a mean game of dominos.

            Whether he teaches rocket science, history or japanese doesn't make his post any less true.

            This idea that just because you are a "journalist" you shouldn't have a political belief is ridiculous.

              Hahaha the only thing I could find about this "National Biological Service" was that it killed a bunch of endangered animals it was transporting. Apparently it was an agency set up to protect endangered animals, but it ended up killing animals worth $40,000.

                    History

                    The Alaska Science Center - Biological Science Office is one of 15 research centers in
                    the nation that conducts and coordinates research for the Biological
                    Resources Division
                    of the U.S.
                    Geological Survey
                    . The Center was established in 1986 after staff
                    previously with the Alaska Office of Fish and Wildlife Research in the U.
                    S. Fish and Wildlife Service
                    united with Service employees from two
                    other research centers who were stationed in Alaska. When the National
                    Biological Service was formed in November, 1993, the Center ,along with
                    scientists from the National Park Service,
                    was moved to this newly created agency. In January, 1996, Congress
                    passed legislation to merge the National Biological Service with the U.S.
                    Geological Survey
                    , thereby consolidating biological and physical
                    scientific research in the Department of the Interior. On October 1,
                    1996 the merger was completed with the former National Biological
                    Service becoming the Biological Resources Division within the U.S.
                    Geological Survey.

                        Is research a part of your life?

                          Who are you talking to now? Me or LBP?

                          Yes, research is a part of my life. And discourse is a part of my life. So if you're making a claim about, say, the National Biological Information Infrastructure and you call it the US National Biological Service, well, that's just plain careless and inaccurate.

                          So the National Biological Service was merged into the US Geological Survey in 1996. That suggests that anything that Starrman found, upon which he based this post, is at least 11 years old.

                          If research were a part of your life, you'd realize that that is an important point.

                                Reading would be a good thing for both of you to attempt, understanding may follow but there are no guarantees, as your posts reflect constantly. Jerk a knee and sing kumbaya.

                                        Poor Fallon, the embarrassed one is the one that makes statements discrediting someone when the statements made by said emabarrassed person are shown to be incorrect and unrelated to discrediting the message. You do it well, your complete ideology lives upon it, go back and hide so no mean people encounter you during the day.

                                          lost74 you did not post about the national biological service but rather some other group with the word "biological" in it. you should he ashamed of yourself for trying to pass it off as the same organization. and then you have the nerve to try and insult others because you made an obvious error.

Check you search engine, you will then have to accept that the US National Biological Service is a fact, it may come as a shock, but please do not start stamping your feet ,like children sometimes do.

                                              From the link I posted that apparently LBP either didn't read, or did read and couldn't make out some of the bigger words...

                                                Right, oh enlightened one. And my point was that, since they were subsumed under the USGS in 1996, and I'm sure starrman never heard of them before, he found a webpage that was eleven years old, or a new webpage maliciously citing eleven year old information.

                                                But why am I telling you this? Surely you know this. You are the MASTER of research.

                                                  So I'll repeat it S-L-O-W-L-Y for Starrrr and Lost (appropriate screen name): There is no US Government Agency called the "US National Biological Service." So you either made it up, or you found it on some "information" source (like Newsmax) that made it up, or cited (as they frequently do) old, discredited information without saying so, or you're loony.

                                                  I know which I'm voting for.

                                                  And for lost, who is, after all, lost: keep trying, ol' buddy.

                                                      Conclusion about what Starr and Lost posted:

                                                      it was never intended to be honest but rather a shit attempt at taking their opinion and trying to turn it into fact.

                                                      I will never again take your posts seriously!

                                                      Thanks for the heads up.

                                                          And for your hero, Gore, good thing he lives his life as he preaches, huh? Drawing the power of a small city for his own city sized home is pretty cool, huh?
