Heartland institute, doesn't actually do any research on polar bears,
Also: jesus, are these people stupid?
Polar bears are dangerous so let's kill them by heating the planet?

I had a look at your link but couldn't see any suggestion that polar bear numbers have been declining...
If you have a link, could you post it?...

This one seems legit. In short: no one knows, mainly because no one knows population sizes in the past. They have been doing better after people stopped hunting them. Nonetheless, their habitat is shrinking.
Regarding the non sequitur? Which bit? The one where I call Glenn Beck stupid for starting to make polar bears a 'non-concern', either way, because they're awful animals?

The link was more like it...
However...
-I didn't see a date stamp on the article...
-The article was talking about not knowing the numbers in1960s and 1970s...
-In the 60s and 70s, there was no significant retreat of sea ice...
-It is claimed in the video I provided that with the absence of sea ice, seal numbers flourish, hence more food for the bears...
-It is also claimed that polar bears are much better swimmers than originally thought...
-Less sea ice yet polar bear numbers seem to be "healthy" and growing now...

Researchers agree that polar bears represent a growing threat to Inuit communities, but say that is because climate change has pushed them closer to human settlements – not because the bear population is growing.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/ ... ial-report

“Inuit believe there are now so many bears that public safety has become a major concern,” said one section of the report, according to the Canadian Press. “Public safety concerns, combined with the effects of polar bears on other species, suggest that in many Nunavut communities, the polar bear may have exceeded the coexistence threshold.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/ ... ial-report

Scientists and conservation groups have warned that a warming climate has reduced sea ice and the availability of prey, pushing bears on to the mainland – and closer to humans.
But Inuit argue their own observations are often ignored, and the new report highlights a growing tension between scientific research and Inuit knowledge based on from thousands of years of living in the region. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/ ... ial-report
