2007 : Dr Stirling says that the phenomenon of a female giving birth to triplets is now part of history with usually only single cubs recorded. Soon, he says, the species may be extinct.
2010 : sightings from guides this summer included surprisingly “frequent sightings of polar bear mothers with triplets,” “In a recent blog post, Selden predicts “prodigious numbers of bears” this year based on unusually high summer sightings.”

This is the problem with predictions, you may soon be called out on it. All we need now is Arctic sea ice recovery and down goes another prediction / forecast / model scenario.
You see this addressed all the time in the AGW camp, someone says ice free by 2012, others reign that person in a say well by 2045 or so, it’s always years down the road, remeber in 1998 it was 10 years and so on and on and on.
