What/where did he say about climate change? All I read was he said the Arctic is warming.
You're right him being a zoologist. He works for the native (Nunavut) regions government, making sure there is sufficient wildlife to sustain the natives tradition, and culture, of subsistence hunting. In other words, this guy should know as much or more than anyone, about what's happening with the critters in the great white north.
When the, "Polar Bear Specialist Group (set up under the International Union for the Conservation of Nature/Species Survival Commission)", meets in Copenhagen to talk about Polar Bears, they should be begging this guy for his expertise. But I suspect because his point of view is sustainable levels for hunting and ecological balance, probably differs from their view that every Polar Bear is precious, he was shunned.
I also suspect they are smart enough to know that, but are operating under, "the end justifies the means rule", which tells me they don't want to know the truth.
They can't handle the truth.
