"in the 1960s, polar bear populations dropped precipitously due to over-hunting. When restrictions on polar bear harvests were put in place in the early 1970s, populations rebounded. That situation was a conservation success story but the current threat to polar bears is entirely different, and more dire.
Today's polar bears are facing the rapid loss of the sea-ice habitat that they rely on to hunt, breed, and, in some cases, to den. Last summer alone, the melt-off in the Arctic was equal to the size of Alaska, Texas, and the state of Washington combineda shrinkage that was not predicted to happen until 2040. The loss of Arctic sea ice has resulted in a shorter hunting season for the bears, which has led to a scientifically documented decline in the best-studied population, Western Hudson Bay, and predictions of decline in the second best-studied population, the Southern Beaufort Sea."

Ok 2 1/2 years have past since I posted this. We now know that the vaunted scientists who purported this hoax have for the most part been exposed as liars. But the coolaid drinks with still belly up to the bar for their glass full of bullsheeet.

No one tried to count polar bears till the early '70's so any numbers from before then are Wild Ass Guesses.
It may have something to do with Russia outlawing polar bear hunting in 1956 and the US, Canada and other countries following the trend in the 1970's. Only the Inuit can legally hunt the bears.
