534		<p>On sale at Amazon today, my new full-length science book, <em>The Polar Bear Catastrophe That Never Happened,</em> published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation.</p>
535<p>The official book launch is 10 April in Calgary, details below.</p>
536<h3>About the book</h3>
537<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-119805" src="https://polarbearscience.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/final-cover-15-march-2019-image-e1552686855923.jpg?w=209&#038;h=300" alt="Final cover 15 March 2019 image" width="209" height="300" /><em>The Polar Bear Catastrophe That Never Happened</em> explains why the catastrophic decline in polar bear numbers we were promised in 2007 failed to materialize. It’s the layman&#8217;s story of how and why the polar bear came to be considered `Threatened’ with extinction and tracks the species rise and fall as an icon of the global warming movement. The book also tells the story of my role in bringing that failure to public attention – and the backlash against me that ensued.</p>
538<p>For the first time, you’ll see a frank and detailed account of attempts by scientists to conceal population growth as numbers rose from an historical low in the 1960s to the astonishing highs that surely must exist after almost 50 years of protection from overhunting. There is also a discu
538ssion of what thriving populations of bears mean for the millions of people who live and work in areas of the Arctic inhabited by polar bears.</p>

599<p><strong>My thriller (<em>EATEN: A novel</em>) couldn&#8217;t be more relevant this year:</strong> remember that while 2016 had the <a href="http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/2016/09/2016-ties-with-2007-for-second-lowest-arctic-sea-ice-minimum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">second lowest</a> coverage of <em>summer</em> sea ice since 1979, the East Coast of Canada had much thicker<a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/ice-compensation-fisherman-twillingate-1.4076069" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em> spring </em>ice</a> than average this year. As a result, Newfoundland and Labrador in particular experienced <a href="https://polarbearscience.com/2017/04/22/sea-ice-off-newfoundland-thickest-ever-yet-another-polar-bear-comes-ashore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">heavy ice conditions</a> and were <a href="https://polarbearscience.com/2017/04/03/east-coast-crawling-with-polar-bears-since-early-march-thanks-to-the-pack-ice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inundated with polar bears</a>.</p>
600<p>And as described in my novel under similar circumstances, <strong>Newfoundland in 2017 had the most sightings ever recorded and was a wakup call that polar bears really <em>could</em> become the kind of wildlife problem that <em>EATEN</em> describes.</strong> This food-for-thought thriller is a great gift for teenagers and adults alike.</p>
601<p><strong>Don&#8217;t forget the science!</strong> Polar bear science got a recent boost with my books for kids and adults that relays facts without fearmongering. Expand the minds of those around you and g
601ive them something to think about. Both are perfect library donations.</p>
602<p>There&#8217;s even a preschooler picture book version (<em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1541281829/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483499685&amp;sr=1-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Polar Bears Have Big Feet</a></em>) so they don&#8217;t feel left out if older siblings or parents have their age-appropriate books (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1541123336/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Polar Bear Facts &amp; Myths</em></a> for ages 7 and up — the first ever for this age group, which is also available in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ours-Polaire-Faits-Mythes-scientifique/dp/1976158362/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511135801&amp;sr=1-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">French</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eisb%C3%A4ren-Fakten-Mythen-wissenschaftliche-Zusammenfassung/dp/1976305748/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511135801&amp;sr=1-5&amp;dpID=41bThKOSC8L&amp;preST=_SX218_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&amp;dpSrc=srch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">German</a> — and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Polar-Bears-Outstanding-Survivors-Climate/dp/1541139712/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=9P2E5ZS6CT6PD5BQ3RBT" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Polar Bears: Outstanding Survivors of Climate Change</em></a> for adults and teens).</p>

627		<p>Would EATEN make a good movie? What do other scary predator attack films tell us (if anything) about the probability of EATEN becoming a successful motion picture?</p>
628<p>
628In June 1975 (one year after the book was published), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaws_(film)" target="_blank"><em>JAWS</em> the movie </a>became a huge box office hit. Fast forward to June 2016, when another shark-attack film called <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shallows_(film)" target="_blank">THE SHALLOWS</a></em> was released (now considered a <a href="http://www.indiewire.com/2016/09/the-shallows-blake-lively-sleeper-1201717237/" target="_blank">“sleeper success.”)</a></p>

631<p>Hmmm….menacing teeth vs. half-naked blonde. Is this natural evolution acting on 40-odd years of marketing styles or a reflection of the fact that <em>THE SHALLOWS</em> is more survivor thriller than pure predator attack film? I’m thinking a bit of both but more of the latter. I happen to think <a href="https://susancrockford.com/2016/07/05/sharks-off-cape-cod-vs-my-polar-bear-attack-thriller-an-unnerving-parallel/" target="_blank">the parallels </a>between these two shark attack films and the EATEN story line are stronger than for other predators-gone-bad thrillers, even grizzly attack movies. Perhaps it&#8217;s the premise of people living and having fun within shouting distance of the beach, which becomes such a fine, dangerous line of interface with these predators.</p>
632<p>Other films of this genre that had varying levels of box office success include Alfred Hitchcock&#8217;s classic <em>THE BIRDS</em> (1963) and Stephen King&#8217;s <em>CUJO</em> (1983), two serious crocodile thrillers from 2007 (<em>ROGUE</em> and <em>BLACKWATER</em>), a survival thriller involving a pack of wolves called <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1601913/" target="_blank"><em>THE GREY</em> </a>, and two bear attack thrillers, <em>BACKCOUNTRY</em> (2014) and <em>THE EDGE</em> (1997) &#8211; see descriptions and some original trailers <a href="http://mentalfloss.com/article/64744/10-animal-attack-movies-are-actually-scary" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
633<p>Less successful offerings depend on mutant or otherwise farfetched versions of real predators, which suggest that making attacking animals larger-and-more-ferocious-than-life backfires at the box office, like the two below: <a href="https://susancrockford.com/2016/11/05/eaten-the-movie-could-polar-bears-trump-sharks-at-the-theatre/#more-1263" class="more-link">Continue Reading &raquo;</a></p>

657		<p>I watched an episode of <em>Discovery Channel</em>’s Shark Week last Friday and I have to admit, it gave me a terrifying déjà vu moment.</p>
658<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-86288" src="https://polarbearscience.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/sharkattacks-seal-cape-cod-2012-video-capture.jpg?w=560" alt="SharkAttacks seal cape cod 2012 video capture"   /></p>
659<p>Specifically, it was the episode called <a href="http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/shark-week/tv-shows/tv-shows/" target="_blank">“Shark Bait”</a> (1 July 2016) &#8211; about the potentially explosive problem of booming populations of grey seals around <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Cod" target="_blank">Cape Cod</a> (NE US, Massachusetts), the increasing numbers of great white sharks that are moving in to hunt them (see trailers <a href="http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/shark-week/videos/great-white-population-booming-off-cape-cod/" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/shark-week/videos/great-whites-adapting-their-hunting-techniques/" target="_blank">here</a>), and the thousands of relatively blasé humans that play and surf in the shallows nearby. UPDATE: entire episode now on Youtube, see below:</p>

661<p>What could possibly go wrong?</p>
662<p><strong>I’ve already imagined what could go wrong – just read my polar bear attack thriller, <em>EATEN</em>.</strong> The parallels of EATEN with this developing shark situation are more than a little unnerving and makes it clear that my piece of speculative fiction may apply to more than polar bears.</p>

688		<p>Today I&#8217;d like to highlight a wonderfully unbiased review of my novel written by a prominent Canadian polar bear researcher who is utterly convinced that future sea ice loss is the biggest threat to the species (and a former student of the grand-daddy of all polar bear researchers, Ian Stirling).</p>

716<p>This is the usual time for polar bear visits to northern Newfoundland but this one had a sad ending. The bear that came ashore at Deep Cove (where some of the action in EATEN takes place, near the artist studio pictured in the CTV report shown above) on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogo_Island,_Newfoundland_and_Labrador" target="_blank">Fogo Island</a> (map below) had to be shot by RCMP due to fears for public safety.</p>

741		<p>This post has been reblogged from <a href="https://polarbearscience.com/2016/03/19/polar-bears-onshore-in-winter-will-more-bears-mean-more-deadly-attacks/" target="_blank">PolarBearScience</a>.</p>
742<p>Incidents of polar bears causing problems onshore this winter (January &amp; February) – including one that <a href="https://polarbearscience.com/2016/02/19/horse-killed-by-a-polar-bear-in-southern-greenland-this-week/" target="_blank">killed a horse in Greenland</a> and another that<a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/whale-cove-hunters-take-down-polar-bear-1.3468161" target="_blank">
742 threatened a resident in western Hudson Bay</a> (only weeks after several incidents in <a href="https://polarbearscience.com/2016/02/07/polar-bears-roaming-labrador-in-winter-due-to-climate-change-says-minister/" target="_blank">southern Labrador</a>) may be the tip of a very scary iceberg. I’ve taken a look at what records exist of this phenomenon, which in the past often involved deadly attacks. The large number of reports this winter appears to be a real increase, which is a rather terrifying prospect indeed.<br />
743<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-79144" src="https://polarbearscience.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/doug-clark-photo-polar-bears-onshore-in-feb-2013-wapusk-np1.jpg?w=560" alt="Doug Clark photo polar bears onshore in Feb 2013 Wapusk NP"   /></p>
744<p>In winter, all polar bears except females in dens nursing newborn cubs are presumed by biologists to be on the sea ice hunting but it turns out that is not quite true. Although relatively rare over the last twenty years or so, it appears that in some areas, <a href="http://polarbearscience.com/2016/01/28/polar-bears-rarely-come-ashore-in-january-but-one-did-on-tuesday/" target="_blank">bears are now coming ashore in winter</a>.</p>
745<p>The photo above shows a polar bear photographed by a remote camera installed at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad_River_%28Manitoba%29" target="_blank">Broad River Camp</a>, Wapusk National Park, western Hudson Bay on<a href="https://twitter.com/yukondoug/status/704143963398144000?lang=en" target="_blank"> 7 February 2013</a>. It was visible to the camera for 40 minutes but apparently caused no trouble (camera installed and maintained by associate professor <a href="https://www.usask.ca/sens/our-people/faculty-profile/Core/Douglas_Clark.php" target="_blank">Doug Clark </a>from the University of Saskatchewan and colleagues).</p>
746<p>Given the fact that there are now many more polar bears than there were in the 1970s as well as more people living in many coastal Arctic communities, problems with bears in winter are likely to increase, as this winter&#8217;s events show. More bears out on the ice in winter (January-March) will almost certainly create more competition for the little bit of food that&#8217;s available (seals are hard to catch in winter), which means some bears might increasingly be looking for alternate sources of food onshore.</p>
