That was similar to my first thought as well.

We could always go somewhere where we'd be freer than under a Palin government, like North Korea for example.

That's Al Gore you're thinking of...

Precisely! He's been telling us all that they're dying out due to AGW and their increasing numbers are becoming an embarrassment to him.

The PBSG reevaluated the status of the 19 recognized subpopulations of polar bears distributed over vast and relatively inaccessible areas of the Arctic. Despite the fact that much new information has been made available since the last meeting, knowledge of some populations is still poor. Reviewing the latest information available the PBSG concluded that 1 of 19 subpopulations is currently increasing, 3 are stable and 8 are declining. For the remaining 7 subpopulations available data were insufficient to provide an assessment of current trend.

From the same press release, immediately following the bit you quoted:

The total number of polar bears is still thought to be between 20,000 and 25,000. However, the mixed quality of information on the different subpopulations means there is much room for error in establishing that range.

So, they aren't claiming a decline and even allow for the possibility of an increase in numbers (though that's not what they seem to intend to imply).

Sadly there's also:

The PBSG renewed the conclusion from previous meetings that the greatest challenge to conservation of polar bears is ecological change in the Arctic resulting from climatic warming.

and

Nonetheless, the PBSG is optimistic that humans can mitigate the effects of global warming ...

Which, IMHO, is grounds for some scepticism...

Sorry, but if you hang out in a white sheet and a pointy hood, you can't blame folks for assuming you're in the KKK.

Re: Palin for Pres in 2012?
 

fiar enough, but there's even more reason to be sceptical about blanket statements like "polar bear numbers are increasing"

:confused:

It was a reference to other folks getting their reputations tarnished by the fallout from the CRU FUBAR.
