Back in 2019. I covered a book entitled “The Polar Bear Catastrophe that Never Happened” by Dr. Susan Crockford. The University of Victoria professor analyzed the latest data and reviewed the questionable values in official estimates, concluding that polar bears are thriving.
Subsequently, she was fired from her position at the university.
However, it didn’t stop what she wrote from being true, as I demonstrated again in 2024.
Climate cultists are scrambling for explanations to explain the increasing numbers.
Hilariously, they have alighted upon accelerated evolution to explain what there are so many fat and happy polar bears in 2025…with the demise of the entire species slated for 2050.
A new study from the University of East Anglia suggests that polar bears are undergoing rapid genetic changes, and scientists believe it’s due to the impacts of climate change.“It’s kind of the first time that we believe we’ve seen a mammal system such as the polar bear, where temperature has been the lead cause, and environmental stress at increased temperature, is impacting their DNA, their genome in real time,” Alice Godden, the lead author of the study, told ABC News.Researchers say the discovery of these genetic changes offers a glimmer of hope for the bears’ survival, as two-thirds of the world’s population could perish by 2050.
The University of East Anglia (UEA) is one of the core global hubs for climate nonsense and is perhaps best known for its Climatic Research Unit (CRU). According to their report, the researchers compared blood samples from polar bears in northeastern and southeastern Greenland and examined gene activity using RNA sequencing, focusing on “jumping genes” (transposons) that can alter how other genes function.
Lead researcher Dr Alice Godden, from UEA’s School of Biological Sciences, asserts that her team’s findings offer some “hope” for the polar bears but efforts to limit global temperature increases must continue.
“DNA is the instruction book inside every cell, guiding how an organism grows and develops,” she said. “By comparing these bears’ active genes to local climate data, we found that rising temperatures appear to be driving a dramatic increase in the activity of jumping genes within the southeastern Greenland bears’ DNA.“Essentially this means that different groups of bears are having different sections of their DNA changed at different rates, and this activity seems linked to their specific environment and climate.“This finding is important because it shows, for the first time, that a unique group of polar bears in the warmest part of Greenland are using ‘jumping genes’ to rapidly rewrite their own DNA, which might be a desperate survival mechanism against melting sea ice.”
You know what else is accelerating? The level of skepticism at climate cult research.
Beyond the skepticism, there is an underlying assumption in the report that polar bear populations adapting to warmer weather is a bad thing. I disagree with that premise.
Furthermore, this study also shows that genetics and evolution continue to work as they have always done.
As a reminder, based on current evolutionary theory, when the environment favors certain heritable traits, individuals with DNA variants that confer those traits tend to survive and leave more offspring. Over many generations, the frequency of those advantageous gene variants (alleles) increases, so the population’s genetic makeup shifts and traits become better suited to the environment.
As a demonstration of the power of evolution and the history of species extinction events, I would like to introduce you to Arctotherium angustidens, the largest prehistoric bear which lived in South America between 2 million and 500,000 years ago. It was a veritable giant when compared with polar bears today.
Based on measurements of the fossil’s leg bones and equations used to estimate body mass, the researchers say the bear would have stood at least 11 feet tall (3.3 meters) on its hind legs and would have weighed between 3,500 and 3,855 pounds (1,588 and 1,749 kilograms). In comparison, “the largest record for a living bear is a male polar bear that obtained the weight of about 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg),” said researcher Leopoldo Soibelzon, a paleontologist at the La Plata Museum.”During its time, this bear was the largest and most powerful land predator in the world,” researcher Blaine Schubert, a paleontologist at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, told LiveScience. “It’s always extremely exciting to find something that’s the largest of its class — and not just a little bit larger, but quite a bit larger.”
It became extinct due to increasing competition from other large carnivores (such as big cats and canids) as the South American carnivore population became more diverse after the Great American Biotic Interchange (when the land bridge between the 2 Americans arose during the late Cenozoic around 3–2.5 million years ago).
In other words, cats and dogs evolved to out-compete these bears. So, in using “evolution” to explain what climate change is doing to polar bear genetics, the climate cultists have reached for the most laughable explanation they could give.
Additionally, I predict that there will be even more polar bears in 2050.
