Now why would you want to shoot them? Natural selection is allowing the
bears the freedom to choose which way they'll go, ice or land.

BS, I'll bet that they're quite capable of living on land. I saw a
documentery the other day that showed the mother in her den with two cubs.
When it was time to breakout into the melting snow and ice (springtime),
they had to 'walk' to the nearest ice field. Over hill, over dale, the
mother bear led her two cubs everywhere until she reached the ice.

And I said that contrary to what y'all tree huggers are saying about man
being the perpetrator of global warming is, if 'man' is the cause of the
earth's temps rising. When did man arrive on Mercury and Venus?

I find it odd that y'all won't look at the evidence and conclude that
there must be something to it, if man isn't there to be the cause.

Actually, it is a substantiated reality.

No, neither would increase the temps unless they were bigger than what
we've seen so far.

If it's like the rest of the BS presented by Global Warming Beleivers to
bolster the global warming problem is created by man, I won't bother.

So is claiming that man is the sole cause of it.
