Polar bear expert barred by global warmists
God bless the freedom fighter, Dr. Mitchell Taylor.  Polar bear expert barred by global warmists - Telegraph
Quote:
Over the coming days a curiously revealing event will be taking place in Copenhagen. Top of the agenda at a meeting of the Polar Bear Specialist Group (set up under the International Union for the Conservation of Nature/Species Survival Commission) will be the need to produce a suitably scary report on how polar bears are being threatened with extinction by man-made global warming.
This is one of a steady drizzle of events planned to stoke up alarm in the run-up to the UN's major conference on climate change in Copenhagen next December. But one of the world's leading experts on polar bears has been told to stay away from this week's meeting, specifically because his views on global warming do not accord with those of the rest of the group.
Dr Mitchell Taylor has been researching the status and management of polar bears in Canada and around the Arctic Circle for 30 years, as both an academic and a government employee. More than once since 2006 he has made headlines by insisting that polar bear numbers, far from decreasing, are much higher than they were 30 years ago. Of the 19 different bear populations, almost all are increasing or at optimum levels, only two have for local reasons modestly declined.

It is my understanding that he is being censored by the otherwise academically free scientific community because he refuses to take into account the impact of the 2001 agreement between the US and Russia to stop killing the polar bears so much. If it wasn't for that, global climate chaos would've totally wiped them out already.
We now have 96 months to get it right.

The story is from the Telegraph newspaper. Do they wear tinfoil on their heads in the newsroom over in the UK?

Shouldn't Global Warming Denial be a crime against the U.N.?
