What's funny is a lot of the Innuit bought into Al Gores theory untill they got a kind of moratorium slapped on polar bear hunts this year.

Now they call them "Defense kills" so they dont get in shit for hunting them.
They didnt expect the Americans with all their dollars to stop coming up.
Usually when a polar is killed in self defense the rest of the village is standing by ready for a cut of meat or to help with the hide.

lol!

You could be right...

$1:
Sea ice in the Arctic has been thinning. Records for low ice cover were set in 2005 -- and again in 2007, when the Northwest Passage was ice-free for the first time in recorded human history.

In the Beaufort Sea, the spring meltdown in the Arctic began an average 13 days earlier between 2000 and 2005 than it did throughout the 1980s.

I think it was a canadian barge company that went through the passage a few years ago.They brag about it on their ads.Forget the name.

Just curious, define "recorded human history?" Are we speaking about just when we actually ever had written historical records, or are we just talking about the last maybe...200 years in which we have had written records of the Northwest Passage?

In all fairness there has been an unusally high amount of Churchills polar bear population walking up the coast to Rankin inlet and points north.Allmost every week there was a story on them in the local kivallik rag.

They used to hold a lottery in the school to see which youngster would get to shoot one when it wandered into town.

Maybe their going hungrey because of those 600 or so Narwhals that were culled, when they became trapped in the early winter ice.

The Innuit are gorging on those right now. [drool]

First the blubber has to be buried so it can rot a bit,then its served.

This one didnt go hungry.

It was a common site to see polars,wolves and caribou hides hanging off the walls on some houses in Nunavut.That was more the central east arctic I was in though.

That's one big bear.Just look at the quad for comparison.You dont want something like that busting into your iglu when your sleeping.

That's why the RCMP are happier if you HAVE a gun then if you dont have one. :lol:

You dont need snowshoes,the snow is hard as rock after one night at -40,and they would just use dogsleds if the sleds were taken away and lots still do use dogsleds as theres no roads up there.
