uspol, bears 

That was a real nice parting gift for Washington State:

I left local asswipe pundit Dori Monson a thorough, sourced, multi-comment debunking of a BS climate-denialist factoid he parroted about polar bear populations.

I won't link to it, but I mean, it ain't that hard to find, and it REALLY ain't hard to tell which commenter is me. O:)

o/` It's a beautiful morning... o/` =^____^=

(TL:DR, in case you're curious: he quoted an anti-green rabblerouser's claim that polar bear populations are 4x larger than recorded in the 20th century. Turns out, oops, not only were all the 20th c. stats a wild guesstimate... but the whole population recovery can be easily explained by other things like hunting bans. And real arctic wildlife experts HATE this dumbass talking point.)
