Walruses Suffer Substantial Losses as Sea Ice Erodes
Coastal sea ice has been decreasing, stressing walruses.

Half a century after Pacific walruses began recovering from industrial-
scale hunting, marine biologists are growing worried that they face a
mounting threat from global warming.

Masses of lumbering walruses have been crowding on beaches and rocks
along the Russian and American sides of the Bering Strait in the
absence of the coastal sea ice that normally serves as a late-summer
haven and nursery.

While the retreats in sea ice around the Arctic this summer were not
as extensive as in 2008 or 2007, the Chukchi Sea, at the heart of the
walrus subspecies’ range, was largely open water.

On Thursday, biologists from the United States Geological Survey
issued a report concluding that 131 walruses found dead near Icy Cape,
Alaska, on Sept. 14 died from being crushed or stampeded. Several
thousand walruses had been congregating in the area, a situation that
scientists from the agency said was highly unusual.

What a crock of ****. How about they document the actual numbers,
track the actual sea ice, and publish in a peer-reviewed journal.
Looks like the "scientists" are more "worried" about their funding
than they are about walruses. If the walruses are doing just fine,
like they've been for the last millenium, the "scientists" wouldn't be
able to justify a larger budget and more funding.

"For the moment, the Pacific walrus remains abundant, numbering at
least 200,000 by some accounts, double the number in the 1950s."

Now isn't that "worrying". Did global warming peak in the 1950's?

Well, It's quite clear that you didn't read the article, Dunderbar.

You have an inability to think in more than one variable.
look for the phrase, "industrial scale hunting."
Poor reading comprehension is a hallmark of
fossil fools, it seems.

•• ROTFLMAO
Science from the Fascist Times that's rich.
Sea ice only "erodes" in the summertime
which is now over in the Arctic.

Global warming is not happening.

•• 3 reasons to say that Cop Cock is an ignorant
jackass

Either way short term or long term the data
doesn't support man made global warming?

Gorebull Warming bull crap lies !!! Walruses are
still here after the Medieval Warm Period, the Roman Warm Period and
all the previous warm periods back to the Eemian when it was much
warmer then now and tree lines were hundreds of miles further north.
Tell us how they survived. maybe they are better able to adapt then
you guys five them credit for.
Just like the coral was all going to disappear, and now they know
it can adapt....

Oh yeah.. I almost forgot... here is a note from your Gorebull
Warming buddy "enigma"

behind the Global Cooling agenda will ever lean away
from opinionated articles and blogs and post credible evidence that

I wonder when the Warming Alarmists will folllow their own
advice ???

So the walruses died from being crushed or stampeded. Sounds like
there are too many walruses, rather than too few. Maybe global
warming will cull the herd a bit and restore balance to nature. With
fewer walruses, death by stampede will be far less likely. Quick,
let's build some coal-fired power plants.

I did read it. Industrial scale hunting appears to not be as big a
threat as the mythical global warming. LOL.
