Two major claims by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) supported by the Center for Biological Diversity in the legal brief, “IN RE POLAR BEAR ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT LISTING AND 4(d) RULE LITIGATION” (USCA Case #11-5219), illustrate the problem. “Two findings were most critical to FWS’s listing determination: (1) extensive declines in Arctic sea ice extent already have occurred and are projected to continue; and (2) the polar bear depends on sea ice for its continued survival as a species. Appellants do not contest either of those findings.“ (page 17-18) Finding 1 and the first sentence in the next section, which says, “There has been an unprecedented decline in Arctic sea ice over the past several decades” are incorrect. There are no accurate sea ice records that cover the “past several decades”. The first useable record began in 1980, two years after a satellite was launched. The declines are not unprecedented... More accurate and complete science predicts continued cooling, which began in 1998 would result in more ice... Finding 2 is also false. Polar Bears have survived extensive periods with little or no sea ice. Greenland ice cores show a warmer world than today for a period of 8000 years;...warmer by 2-3°C than today.
