Re: [asa] Arctic sea ice and global warming

Janice's "argument" is once again one of fallacy. The reason polar
bears are thriving since the 1970's is because of hunting agreements.
However, the fact that their habitats are being destroyed is a real
phenomenon.

Then again, the 'happy polar bears' at Seaworld are an indication that
such animals can thrive anywhere. ROTFL
The level of logic here is just baffling. Is this the level of
arguments we should expect against those concerned about the
environment?
So what about the declining polar extents Janice? Does that not concern you?
