(CNS News) – Although the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) contends that melting sea ice, caused by global warming, is causing the polar bear population to decrease, a new report by evolutionary biologist Dr. Susan Crockford reveals that the global population of polar bears is “now almost 30,000 – up from 26,000 in 2015.”
In the Feb. 27 report, Crockford “clarifies that the IUCN’s 2015 Red List assessment for polar bears, which Facebook uses as an authority for ‘fact checking’, is seriously out of date,” according to a statement from the Global Warming Policy Foundation in London. “New and compelling evidence shows that bears in regions with profound summer ice loss are doing well.”

Chuck Baran, project manager with Mike Coates Construction, was one of 20-plus contractors who walked through the Warren City Hall grounds before bidding on the $1.7 million project closes. City officials want to improve the buildings.
WARREN The final portion of funds earned from the sale of bonds by the city in 2014 is expected to be used for the restoration of the city hall complex this year.
The complex includes the 149-year-old Perkins Mansion city hall building, the city’s information technology building and the law department building, both on the city hall grounds.
The expected $1.7 million project will be paid for with a variety of funding sources, including a $500,000 Save America’s Treasures grant and a $200,000 grant obtained through energy supplier NOPEC that will be used to do upgrades of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
