    That would require an effort by conservation groups, the various governments, and polar bear experts. If you really wanted to know you could check the plans they made in previous attempts.

    I certainly would not be involved so I don’t know why you think I should be the one that comes up with any plan. I don’t have to be a subject matter expert to advocate for a cause. I don’t have to be an OB-GYN to advocate for abortion rights. I don’t have to be an environmental scientist to advocate for action on climate change. And I don’t have to be an expert on polar bears to be able to say “Maybe we shouldn’t kill polar bears.”

      That’s exactly the problem that both the article and I have brought up. Greenland has no obligation to take the polar bear and has good reasons not to.

        Do you expect me to personally negotiate with Greenland?

          No, I expect you to explain to me why Greenland would accept such negotiations with Iceland when it would put their own polar bear population at risk.

            That’s something you should ask Greenland, something one might do in some sort of negotiation.

              Why am I the one that has to come up with a plausible way for your idea to work?

                You seem to want to know the answer to the question and I have already given you all I can. so I will just repeat:

                I certainly would not be involved so I don’t know why you think I should be the one that comes up with any plan. I don’t have to be a subject matter expert to advocate for a cause. I don’t have to be an OB-GYN to advocate for abortion rights. I don’t have to be an environmental scientist to advocate for action on climate change. And I don’t have to be an expert on polar bears to be able to say “Maybe we shouldn’t kill polar bears.”

                  Except you have not given a viable alternative to killing the polar bear.

                    I have given an alternative. It is just not perfectly detailed enough for some random person on the internet that has no say in anything related to the subject.
