Nobody has done more to sink the claim that climate change is endangering polar bears than zoologist Susan Crockford — and she may have paid for it with her job.
After 15 years as an adjunct assistant professor, Ms. Crockford said the University of Victoria rejected without explanation in May her renewal application, despite her high profile as a speaker and author stemming from her widely cited research on polar bears and dog domestication.
Ms. Crockford accused officials at the Canadian university of bowing to “outside pressure,” the result of her research showing that polar bear populations are stable and even thriving, not plummeting as a result of shrinking Arctic sea ice, defying claims of the climate change movement.
Her dismissal, which she announced Wednesday in a post on her Polar Bear Science blog, has spurred alarm over the implications for academic freedom and the rise of the “cancel culture” for professors and scientists who challenge climate catastrophe predictions.
“When push came to shove, UVic threw me under the bus rather than stand up for my academic freedom,” said Ms. Crockford, who earned a Ph.D. in interdisciplinary studies, specifically biology and anthropology, in 2004.

The study showing polar bears are in fact thriving comes from where exactly?

According to Coca Cola, those polar bears look pretty happy and healthy to me, especially around the holiday season.
Its probably as valid as a "study" as anything else. Since these days, when it comes to science, the outcome of the "data" is usually determined by who's paying for the study and what narrative they expect it to support.

I think ATS needs a basic reading comprehension test you need to pass before you become a member.

Why single out ATS, what about the internet in general.
A lot of us have to get a licence for the 2a, might be time to require one for the internet as well.
Keep all that riff raff out.

What actually is *climate change*? Is it an instant 90 degree pole shift wherein Woolly Mammoths are frozen instantly with marigolds hanging from their jaws? Is it a slow motion ice age caused by a very gradual pole shift 1 degree at a time? This inexplicable warming could be caused by a REAL actual volcano becoming active under the arctic circle, or is it really just changes in the weather, just as you and I experience everyday; it's raining today (drat yea gods no umbrella hands) it's hot today and the lake is frozen over.

So you finally admit you think I'm an idiot and couldn't pass the test to get an internet licence.
That's fair, but to think I couldn't find someone that looks like me and pay them 20 dollars to take the test is what hurts the most.

Nah.. you would take the test, your intellect would fight with your snark gland and it would just all go wrong.
You always have the answers people don't want to be true, after all...

Everytime I've walked into the government center for a license, I walk out with the paperwork. Either the licence I went in there for, or restraining order paperwork(they hire really cute girls for all those positions around here). Either way, i've got government docs when I leave, so I consider it a 100 percent success rate.

Do you go home afterwards, fill out the paperwork and submit it?
Does it ever get approved?
Or do you just have a 100% success rate on getting the paperwork?
Just sayin...

No, sorry for the confusion.
When I leave there the documents are in effect. Either the licence in question......or the restraining order......
