Media and USGS Biologist Sensationalize Recent Report Of A Polar Bear Encounter in Alaska

by Susan J. Crockford, Ph.D.


"It’s been a slow summer for polar bear news to hype, so we shouldn’t be surprised that a local report that polar bears this summer have descended on the town of Kaktovik, Alaska one week earlier than 2017 has morphed into an international story that makes a 2016 research report sound like this year’s news, with headlines trumpeting: “polar bear encounters are increasing” due to a longer open water period. Nevertheless, it was reported just two weeks ago that Alaska has not had a polar bear attack since 1993.

This is a particularly blatant example of how the media skew polar bear ‘news’ for public consumption, aided by scientists with a particular message to sell. Not surprisingly, a number of essential facts have been left out of this sensationized account, in part because the polar bear specialist the media consulted left those facts out of his statement. This is the sort of bias displayed by polar bear specialists that I discuss in my new book, The Polar Bear Catastrophe That Never Happened.

Alaska Governor OKs Smaller Oil-Wealth Check For Now

by Becky Bohrer


"(AP)...Dunleavy ran on a full dividend payout, consistent with a longstanding calculation that has not been followed since 2016 amid an ongoing budget deficit and that many lawmakers see as unsustainable. He also has said Alaskans should get a say on any changes to the dividend program.

Tension with the dividend was heightened last year when lawmakers began using permanent fund earnings, long used to pay dividends, to also help cover government expenses.

Some lawmakers argue the calculation is at odds with a law passed last year seeking to limit what can be withdrawn from earnings for government and dividends. The principal of the nest-egg Permanent Fund has constitutional protections but its earnings can be spent.

Lawmakers began using earnings after going through billions in savings amid gridlock and disagreements over how best to tackle the deficit.

Funds sources used to cobble together the roughly $1,600 dividend passed this year included fund earnings and savings. Last year’s capped payout was $1,600.

“The cold hard truth is that we can’t afford a $3,000 PFD going forward unless we decimate the state budget or come up with a new source of revenues,” House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, an independent, said Monday, referring to the dividend..."
