[CINC] BBC E-mail: Polar bear 'cannibalism' pictured

[Don]

Hi Anthony,

Kudos for speaking the truth.....and I believe there are more Polar 
Bears today then there were 30 years ago.
Ref.: 
http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=1ea8233f-14da-4a44-b839-b71a9e5df868
The latest government survey of polar bears roaming the vast Arctic 
expanses of northern Quebec, Labrador and southern Baffin Island show 
the population of polar bears has jumped to 2,100 animals from around 
800 in the mid-1980s.

Mankind is screwing up the environment and we need to do a better job; 
however, the real problem is there are too many of us.
However, mankind is not the cause of global warming and it saddens me as 
an Honest Steward of Our Environment to see the MCGW hoax being 
continually spun via RAIN for public consumption.

The glaciers did not start to melt due to mankind 18K years ago and 
mankind is not the cause of their continuing to melt today.

My best,
Don
