3 and 4 are certainly false; whilst 1 and 2 are true, the end result of any change to the status quo of our environment (ie sea levels) is that society simply can’t afford a 7-70m rise in sea levels. Whether or not you ‘believe’ and this isn’t a religious perspective, this should be well accepted science by now, is that we are causing a change we can’t affoed; and even if we aren’t causing it, it looks like ‘factor x’ is, and we as a civilisation should do all we can to avoid it

If I am a Polar Bear hunter but I can't travel so far in search of my quarry because the ice is melting and can't support the weight of my snowmobile then bear numbers could indeed rise. Whether they continue to rise as temperatures increase is anyone's guess. In the end it matters little if the planet is warming from natural or man-made causes. If the environment is sufficiently degraded that things start to come apart then everything is in trouble.
