So the polar bear population has increased since they were almost hunted into extinction before there were limits placed on polar bear hunting? Shocking!
And also shocking news, real world data is noisy. Out of all the polar bear subpopulations (there's an exact #, does anyone saying polar bear populations are increasing know what it is?), of course in any given year or span of time, some will be increasing, some will be decreasing, and some will remain the same, as fluctuations in food supply and environment and whatever else occurs.
Drawing a conclusion based on a small sample size is the same as saying the Flames will win the cup because they won 4 in a row. It's BAD reasoning.
