Open Email To Swedish WWF Regarding Polar Bear Advert

Dear wwf.se,

Once in a while I see Swedish television and happens to notice your advert for Polar Bears.
It is a good deed to protect endangered animals and I can only admire this work.
It is important to focus on the animals in need and there are really enough to take care of here.  It is therefore important to keep yourself and your sponsors motivated and in the believe that the support they give is serving the right animals and services.

In your advert for the polar bears you are giving the impression of just trying to gather support at any cost and any lie.  This is giving people who knows a bit about the actual science behind the Earth's climate, a bitter taste and disappointment over the WWF.  I agree that polar bears might give cash, because of Al Gore's cartoon with drowning polar bears in his notorious film, but as with most things Al Gore says, there is little or no truth in it.

The polar bear population in nearly all colonies has increased ever since the 60's where hunting was banned.  So if polar bears ever were endangered, it was due to hunting and had nothing to do with current or previous climate.  Ask yourselves how the PB would have survived the much warmer viking age and the even way warmer Holocene Warm period just 2500 years ago where the temperature was over 5 degree Celsius warmer than today and forest was covering much of Greenland.

The ice is not melting in the way you proclaim in the advert.  There was a bit more melting at the polar cap up towards 2007, due to changes in the ocean currents.  The ice is now fully recovered and is about the same extend as the average the last 30 years.

The Earth has been cooling since 2001 and has not been warming since 1998.  This fact is the opposite of what your advert conveys to the layman and as a renowned organization you are expected to acquire the correct knowledge such that your adverts do not mislead the public.

In case this is the first time you have received complaint regarding your PB advert in TV and you for some reason was unaware about the actual status of the PB polulation and the status of the climate, I politely suggest these web sites for reference:

SPPI - Science and Public Policy Institute
ICECAP
co2science
JunkScience
Bob Carter’s Wesbite
ClimateAudit.org
The Climate Scam A swedish blog

There are many more excellent web sites and my apology to those I did not mention.

For general and to the point information about human influence on the climate:
The Sceptic Handbook. Also available in Swedish on the download page.

All the best to the World's Wildlife and to the Foundation and a sincere hope that you will pull the PB advert from TV at your earliest convenience.
