“Polar bears have increased 400% in 45 years; whales are nearly fully recovered; extinctions are down 90% past century. Koalas are doing fine. If we could ban wind turbines we could save 85,000 birds of prey/yr in US alone.”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: Global estimates of the polar bear population show either a modest decline or virtually no change. Whale populations are not close to recovering fully. Experts and scientific data show that koalas are vulnerable.
