Eskimos: There May Be “Too Many Polar Bears Now”

[Swordsmyth]

“There’s too many polar bears now.” This observation, which runs counter to the global-warming dogma that rising temperatures are decimating bear populations, was made by Eskimos — people who actually live among the bears.
In fairness, this story has not been reported accurately: Many sources have emphasized how Canadian Eskimos have said there are more “fat” bears, and this is true; however, other Indians claim the bears seem to be skinnier (no, there were no fun-house mirrors around). But they all agree on one thing: There are more bears now than in generations — at least in their area.
The Indians’ observations were presented in the recently published research paper “Inuit perspectives of polar bear research: lessons for community-based collaborations,” by Pamela B.Y. Wong, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Toronto, et al. And these observations coincide with the findings of certain scientists who tell us that warnings of polar bear imperilment are mere climate alarmism.

Writing of how the Eskimos report more bear/human contact than ever before, the paper informs that some “participants attributed interactions with bears to cyclical changes in polar bear distribution.” It then quotes an Eskimo source:
Back then there used to hardly be any bears … 1920s, the father-in-law said they used to go miles and miles by dog team, or by walking to go hunt polar bears … but after 1980s, to now there’s a lot of bears … 1920s, his father-in-law was saying that there were a lot of bears back then … few years later they were all gone … and now they’re all back … I think it goes like that, back and forth. (AB12) Our elders, they say, they migrate, into other area … for years, and then they come back … that’s what we’re experiencing now … back in early 80s, and mid 90s, there were hardly any bears … there’s too many polar bears now.
All the Eskimo study participants believe that the bears are more aggressive now. One explained this by saying that the bears are “smart” and “know that they won’t be shot at … now, but back then [decades ago] they used to be afraid … knowing that they’ll be shot.”

Polar Bears May Have Quadrupled In Number Despite Melting Arctic Ice

Whats wrong with having too many polar bears? Is it because they have white fur? Are they being accused of being racist to brown and black bears?

They compete with the Eskimos for the other prey animals and they are a threat to the Eskimos.

Of course there are too many polar bears . Another negative product of leftism .

I did some engineering work on the North Slope a few years back. I saw some drawings for a "bear cage" at an oil facility. I thought it was strange to keep a polar bear caged up on a job site. I later learned the cage was a place for the workers to run and hide in when a bear came into the site.
