Long-term Climate Data Show Arctic Fauna Not Endangered by Global Warming

By /

The photogenic Arctic megafauna (polar bears, walruses, and seals) that global warming alarmists use to gin up public empathy for their campaign against global warming have survived far greater temperature swings than anything the IPCC predicts should come from human activity, concludes a new study. Oh, well. The alarmists will surely keep using them anyway. […]
