Polar Bear Researcher Suspended, Under Investigation for 'Integrity Issues' - FoxNews.com

A leading climate scientist whose report in 2006 of drowning polar bears in Arctic waters galvanized the global warming movement -- and were highlighted in Al Gore's Oscar-winning climate-change documentary -- has been suspended, possibly over the accuracy of his observations.
Looks like heads are slowly starting to roll over the whole global warming farce. So let's see, sea level rises were debunked, the Kilimanjaro glacier was debunked, hockey stick was debunked, "hide the decline" was exposed, and now CERN is suppressing evidence that links the sun, not CO2, to be the main driver of climate.

And you wonder why more and more people are growing skeptical of the AGW aka climate change movement.

A proponent of man-made global warming potentially being unethical in his use of "science"? Say it isn't so. Unheard of; I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Actually, he's a biologist and good man who reported what he saw.

Somebody, or something does not want the world to know the effects of the melting ice. Hmmmmmmm. Who the F could that be? O I L companies?????

If you're going to post at least get your scientists right.

Blame Al Gore for this mess. Quite simply....you DO NOT politicize science. It pulls all sorts of worthless, opportunist goons out of the woodwork who are hoping to make a name for themselves. Al gave them the window of opportunity of a lifetime, and this is what we get for it.

Hmm.. You mean that big hot ball in the sky? The hot hot ball in the sky that shines constantly all over the planet? That hot hot ball that goes through cycles and has something call sunspots that permit solar flares that throw out high amounts of radiation toward earth?

Ohhh noo.... Never heard of that.

And yet
Quote:
The report said they observed four dead polar bears floating in Arctic waters after a storm. They detailed their observations in an article published two years later in the journal Polar Biology; presentations also were given at scientific gatherings.
In the peer-reviewed article, the researchers said they were reporting, to the best of their knowledge, the first observations of polar bears floating dead offshore and presumed drowned while apparently swimming long distances in open water -- suggesting "that drowning-related deaths of polar bears may increase in the future if the observed trent of regression of pack ice and/or longer open water periods continues."
[LEFT]


Emphasis mine.

So, now that I debunked your post, what else is there that you want to say that this issue isn't related? Clearly the man's research was used by Al Gore to launch the AGW movement into the mainstream. What say you?

None of this is going to stop the Left from pursuing its radical environmental agenda. We'll still have laws passed and billions spent trying to stop the "threat" of global warming.

Don't forget they also like to say stuff like, this guy isn't a climate scientist when the article says he's a climate scientist working for a fund that manages climate-related Arctic wildlife studies It may work for Democrats but us sensible people can see glaring evidence in front of us and a simple "No it's not related" is not going to convince us

It's so strange to see people sound off on this and know not a thing about it. Especially since the OP posted from the fair and balance Fake news.

Here:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/29/sc...=1&ref=science

It looks like at the time it was the honorable Minerals Management Service and we know how they conducted themselves with the OIL companies down in LA.

You really need to read this: http://www.peer.org/docs/doi/7_28_11_Scientific_Misconduct_Complaint.pdf (broken link)

Make note where it says the the Interior Dept. of Inspector General has NO scientific background. NONE.
Charles Monnett Under Investigation For Scientific Misconduct Involving Polar Bears

I'm sure this story will continue to develope, and I will do all in my power to learn the truth and defend people like Dr. Charles Monnett who have been targeted by someone or something (OIL companies, perhaps?). Those of you who have so politicized the work of scientists, and stand behind anyone, whether it is the fat slob, rush limpbaugh, Faux news, or even the ever so ethical oil companies that have so much to lose should reevaluate your ethics.
