For a population to be stable it must multiply. Stability only happens in good times.

Math problems? For a population to be stable, the rate of death will roughly equal the birth rate. It doesn't say anything about good times. A population could be stable at 1,000,000 then undergo changes that result in a new stability at 1,000. Just because it's stable does not mean that times are good. It simply means the population isn't changing much. There are far more factors involved with assessing the health of a population.

That's not only math problems, but problems understanding biology.

So the population isn't stable?

:roll: I never said that. Seriously do you even bother to try to understand what someone says?

The news article talks about total bear population, then in the next paragraph they have a survey of one of the 19 sub-populations. And the news article conveniently leaves out this disclaimer from the survey authors, when comparing the estimates from the two different methodologies:
Whereas mark−recapture data provide direct estimates of population growth, aerial survey data yield information population on trend only via a time series of population estimates; accordingly, reliance on such data may require more conservative harvest management.
How about people RTFP. Not surprised that the usual suspects would grab the news headline and run with it without actually reading the source document, which is hyperlinked in the text of the article. Can't even blame people for being too lazy to search for it.

Yea, mark and capture is much more accurate than aerial snapshots. I went on a google hunt about this a few days after the original story broke out, and as usual - the media comes out with the denier crap first, and then you find out the sensationalistic Walter-media is more muted than it was originally perceived.

That death knell must have gone the opposite direction, rofl

Poor deniers.

97% of scientists confirm AGW and they still cling to polar bears, hockey sticks and Al Gore.

Northern Ontario,

That reminds me of the rote chants of the 99's
If enough people repeat bullshyte it becomes a consensus....and we all know a consensus is gospel in some religions.....

Who's showboating there

roflmao You just keep thinking that. It's good for you.

No... it really hasn't.
Right. There appears to be no death of any opinion.

What scientists? 9 out of 10 Drs (scientists) recommend smoking Camels.
They do? Some decades back, perhaps they did.

Where will Santa live? In FLA like all the other over the hill CDNs.
Mud house.

Yeah, after accepting large amounts of cash from industry that wanted to protect their large profits. Gee who does that sound like...

Oh, and for those poo-pooing consensus, let me know how that works out for you if you ever require a surgeon or other medical specialist.

Ahhhh it's about cash when it's other scams but not cash when it comes to the climate change scam? How is GE doing with their exclusive deal?
