Smallest steps possible without reverting to baby talk.

In case you missed it, question #1 was: Does the information in the linked study matter?

Now if somewhere in all the stuff you posted, all the links, all the demands to explain this or that, if somewhere in there is a yes or no, then my goodness you are right: I am obtuse. And I apologize.

In case you missed it, question #2 was: "Will it be significant when polar bears can no longer 'be up there'?" [first off let me ask if your: Polar bears have been up there for tens of thousands of years... could not be considered "bringing up polar bears"?] Dunno why that question would be so hard to answer either unless you put some kind of evil environmentalist spin on it. In my opinion (just to show you how to answer one of these things) it would be a very significant observation if polar bears no longer lived up there. It would be a sign of some serious change that would matter and be significant.

        Not much of an answer to my question, buddy. Or am I to infer your answer was "no". (n/t) - alcaray - 10/3/2005 3:14:51 PM
        
        The polar bears are going to be fine. Okay? - Tom Brosz - 10/3/2005 4:24:03 PM
        
        Go back and read the question again. Go back and read the question in the original post. - alcaray - 10/3/2005 5:22:44 PM

        I think the assumption that you make within your question is false. - alcaray - 10/5/2005 2:58:35 PM
