Not exact matches

When alarmists charged that the polar bear was being hunted to extinction, the outcry sent scientists like Lee Miller and Jack Lentfer (below) off across the ice on a rewarding research trail

Scientists first noticed this deadly phenomenon in 2004 when they noticed four drowned polar bears in the Beaufort Sea off Alaska's North Slope.

The annual Arctic Science Conference will, when opportune, combine with a meeting of oneof the societies, institutions, unions or other organizations of scientists of the United States or of foreign counterparts of the Association concerned with the polar regions.

Updates below Alberto Behar, a polar researcher who combined a scientist's deep curiosity with an engineer's audacious inventiveness, died on Friday when the plane he was flying crashed shortly after he took off from a small airport near his longtime workplace, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif..

I found stories about 4 polar bears that drowned in a storm and stories about 2 that were killed by scientists studying them when the scientists tranquilized the bears and the bears made their way back into the water and drowned.

«Every summer when the sun melts the surface the water has to go someplace, so it accumulates in these ponds,» said Jamie Morison, a polar scientist at the UW Applied Physics Laboratory and principal investigator since 2000 of the North Pole Environmental Observatory.

The energy and physical costs of such long - distance swimming are unknown, but scientists did note polar bears moved, on average, 2.3 times more than when the same individuals were on sea ice.

(Keep in mind that almost all Arctic sea ice researchers add a big caveat when talking of an «ice - free Arctic Ocean,» noting that a big region of thick floes north and west of Greenland will almost surely persist in summers through this century, which is one reason some scientists have proposed targeting polar bear conservation efforts there.)

New Scientist covers their work only to show it up as scientifically flawed, politically motivated, the result of industry - funded misinformation and bad moral fibre, just as they did when they reported on Willie Soon's paper challenging received wisdom that climate change is imperiling polar bears.

When I suggest we have a polar opposite situation here, enviro - activists appearing to be doing all the racketeering to keep their cause alive in the face of withering science - based criticism, this sort of thing is what I'm talking about — Newsweek «s Sharon Begley practically yelling about the need to stop skeptic climate scientists in their tracks, and less than three years later, Dr Schneider telling policy analysts and media experts at a major symposium exactly how such critics can be marginalized.

The high and persistent temperatures this fall are particularly extraordinary, scientists said, because the region has already plunged into «polar night,» the time of year when the sun no longer rises over the North Pole.

When projecting future sea levels, scientists have traditionally relied upon physical models and expert assessments to project the polar ice sheets» response to various emission scenarios.

Since to me (and many scientists, although some wanted a lot more corroborative evidence, which they've also gotten) it makes absolutely no sense to presume that the earth would just go about its merry way and keep the climate nice and relatively stable for us (though this rare actual climate scientist pseudo skeptic seems to think it would, based upon some non scientific belief — see second half of this piece), when the earth changes climate easily as it is, climate is ultimately an expression of energy, it is stabilized (right now) by the oceans and ice sheets, and increasing the number of long term thermal radiation / heat energy absorbing and re radiating molecules to levels not seen on earth in several million years would add an enormous influx of energy to the lower atmosphere earth system, which would mildly warm the air and increasingly transfer energy to the earth over time, which in turn would start to alter those stabilizing systems (and which, with increasing ocean energy retention and accelerating polar ice sheet melting at both ends of the globe, is exactly what we've been seeing) and start to reinforce the same process until a new stases would be reached well after the atmospheric levels of ghg has stabilized.

In contrast, when the same magazine, in the same month, reported on Harvard scientist Willie Soon's paper in the journal Ecological Complexity, which challenged received wisdom that climate change is imperilling polar bears, the scientific argument was ignored in favour of speculation about Soon's alleged links to the oil industry, and that the research was part of an orchestrated campaign to undermine the environmental movement's use of the polar bear as an icon (New Scientist 1scientist Willie Soon's paper in the journal Ecological Complexity, which challenged received wisdom that climate change is imperilling polar bears, the scientific argument was ignored in favour of speculation about Soon's alleged links to the oil industry, and that the research was part of an orchestrated campaign to undermine the environmental movement's use of the polar bear as an icon (New Scientist 1Scientist 1.7.2007).

Scientists have long thought that the early Cambrian Period was probably a greenhouse interval in Earth's climate history, a time when there were no permanent polar ice sheets.

«Scientists face many challenges when attempting to produce data with long - term stability from sequentially launched, polar - orbiting satellites whose original missions were to support operational forecasting.
