Armstrong and Polar Bears
Armstrong is a marketing professor at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. According to his website, Armstrong's work focuses mainly on forecasting methods, strategic planning, survey research and research methods.
Armstrong, along with Willie Soon and Kesten Green, recently made public an "unpublished working paper" arguing that the current forecast data on polar bear populations is inadequate for making a decision as to whether polar bears should be listed as a threatened species under the US Endangered Species Act.
While the polar bear paper is not published in any peer-reviewed scientific journal, it has appeared on multiple websites, including Soon's Science and Public Policy website, Spiked Online, and various blogs.
