35,000 Walrus Come Ashore In Alaska

the eric conspiracy writes "Lack of sea ice in the Arctic has forced record numbers of walrus to come ashore in Alaska. The walrus, looking for a place to rest have come ashore in Point Lay Alaska. The walrus normally rest on floating ice. "We are witnessing a slow-motion catastrophe in the Arctic," Lou Leonard, vice president for climate change at the World Wildlife Fund, said in a statement that was reported by CNN. "As this ice dwindles, the Arctic will experience some of the most dramatic changes our generation has ever witnessed. This loss will impact the annual migration of wildlife through the region, threaten the long-term health of walrus and polar bear populations, and change the lives of those who rely on the Arctic ecosystem for their way of life."

The same Susan Crockford who receives a monthly salary from the Heartland Institute, who is also not a climatologist or even a zoologist, but a paleozoologist specialising in Dog evolution? That's not real science, but an opinion bought by the Heartland Institute.

You first chump.
You have never done anything but poopoo the science and push long debunked denier BS.

You act as if there is some magic science to be done in between. It's real simple.I'll break it down for you:
-Walrus are weak swimmers compared to the rest of seal-dom. They cannot swim indefinitely, and have to rest.
-They typically rest on sea ice. It's nearer their food, convenient, and extremely safe for them.
-They now are having to come ashore because there's not enough ice.
-Why is there is not enough ice? Oh right...global warming.

You are an idiot. You are not reasonable. You ARE a denialist and have never been anything but, and your attempts to appeal to "reason" are merely a smokescreen for your own ignorance.
