I've got the clothes and been growing out the beard but you still have to breathe and any exposed skin gets numb quick. Really only outside for 5 or 10 minutes at most. Downtown MPLS has skyways between many of the buildings Originally Posted by Munchmasterman

I bet those airplanes you saw taking off from a tarmac landing strip on Antarctica helped with the modeling, right?

Mama bears with cubs living around humans who generate enough trash to increase the bear population?
No fucking way. Their environment is shrinking. Duh!!

Bullshit. Palin never needed anyone's help to get in trouble.

This means the adjusted 2015 global estimate for polar bears should be about 28,500 (average), a marked increase over the official estimate of 26,500 (average) for 2015 — and an even larger increase over the 2005 estimate of about 22,500 (average)2, despite the dramatic loss of summer sea ice since 2007 that we hear about endlessly.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-p...39708420080805
It is increasingly obvious that polar bears are thriving...
Alaska maintains that the polar bear population has doubled to as many as 25,000 over the last 40 years as a result of current regulations and conservation programs in Alaska and internationally.
After I arrived in Arviat, I picked up my rented Ford Ranger and drove out to the dump. There weren’t many streetlights, but it was a clear night and the road distinguished itself by a uniform glaze and filigree incisions of snowmobile blades. As I pulled in, I saw a pale shape amid the trash mounds about 150 yards away, but it wasn’t moving and seemed too big to be a bear. I drove forward slowly and got to within 100 feet of it. It was a bear. The scale seemed wrong: On all fours, it was too wide and too long. Standing, it might have been nine feet tall. The breadth of the shoulders and area of the shoulder blades and circumference of the midsection were well beyond common bear dimensions and nonsensically far beyond human dimensions. A resident of Arviat had once seen a 13-foot-tall bear. Looking up at that bear would have been like looking up at someone leaning out of a second-story window. A large male polar bear is arguably closer to dinosaur scale than human scale.
The bear had buried its face in trash.
