Oh noes! The polar bears aren't dying out after all. They came on land and eat whatever instead of dying out because the ice that isn't actually melting anymore won't support them to hunt seals that warming cultists thought was the only thing they could eat! Shucks. What now?
I knew that, actually. In 2012, there was a Polar Bear DNA test that revealed the species pre-dates the ice age, same as humans, and having survived it like we did, proves their adaptability. When the ice age returns, they'll go back to Ice Age techniques, same as we will. I wonder if our descendants will have snowmobiles and cellphones and solar panel powered laptops? Will they have greenhouses to keep fed during the longer and colder winters? Or will they just move to warmer climates and not worry about it too much? There is an AWFUL LOT OF LAND south of the current temperate zone which was temperate and wetter, ideal for growing crops, untouched by serious glaciers or frost. Mexico, the Sahara, even the Middle East were pretty nice during the Ice Age. Its not like the ice age returning will be hostile to life. It just moves to different locations and continues.
During this brief interglacial period of time which is probably close to over, we enjoy a warmer and drier climate, and the accompanying El Nino droughts. The thing is, even during Interglacials like this, we get some extremes being the norm rather than the stability we like to imagine. The Little Ice Age from 1250-1850 had the Thames freezing in London hard enough to walk on, use as a road, and hold faires and festivals. Only since 1850 have we had "stable" weather patterns and being as people are stupid, they pretend stable is normal. It isn't. Stable weather is historically rare and usually infrequent. Stable weather is unusual.
The other little gem is that the Medieval Warm Period is something that really upsets the cultists. They don't like that warmth = more food. They want apocalypse because their funding is running out, and they need panic for funding. The warm period ruins that. And there's LOTS of evidence for it. Same with the Artic Vortex (silly name) causing fairly normal winter storms (at least to my memory from childhood), far South into the US. Not very nice to be in, since Easterners are out of Practice dealing with actual weather again, but folks moved to California decades ago to get away from that crap. That's why they accept drought here. We're not stuck in snow, rusting cars, and frozen pipes. I get to open my windows in January and enjoy an 80'F breeze flowing through.
So yeah, polar bears returning to their pre-ice age food techniques, like other bears? Not a surprise. The pathetic whining of the cultists is what makes me laugh the loudest. I encourage them to eat some black dirt at $35/oz. It's: "Cleansing, healing, mm-kay!" Damn cultists. Do something useful.
