As to funding and grants ... yes, non-profits gain contributions for study ... but then doesn't the scientific world do the same? It's certainly not rare for any study to have biased participants and all to often we find that whoever is doing the funding gets the results they want on the final documents.<br /><br />There will always be differing of opinion on such issues and since this website is all in favor of saving wildlife and promoting more sustainable lifestyles, the article fits fine with content, so I make no apologies, but always appreciate input.sharingsunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275158327616370321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973985529100174047.post-55675306706475400552009-05-17T10:55:00.000-04:002009-05-17T10:55:00.000-04:00Publishing quotes from nonprofit groups does not e...Publishing quotes from nonprofit groups does not equate to a scientific study of polar bear population. Granted, the oil industry has much to gain by down-playing the issue but to deny that the environmental groups gain funding and grants for their agenda is dishonest. They have as much at stake to claim population decline as the energy industry does when they claim "no impact". There are in fact several studies showing a polar bear population that is quite healthy, just relocating. Now, there's a point for discussion. Is this relocation a temporary response to natural warming and cooling trends or is the artic ice truly disappearing. Again, both sides have studies and pictures to support their view. <br />Quote a study or something, please. Give us some numbers. Writing on this topic for emotional appeal surely brings in funding but it does't advance knowledge. There are enough ignorant spiritual people in the world. Don't help that population expand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
