1. 'Don't discuss polar bears': memo to scientists

While the video clips of polar bears stranded on ice floes can be heart wrenching, that requires some preconceived notions. Is he there because his home has shrunk, or did he choose to swim there.

Also not mentioned, the polar bear population has exploded over the last decade or two.

In a region with clearly scarce resources, a correction is to be expected.
