Love in the time of climate change: Grizzlies and polar bears are now mating

BARROW, Alaska — Most Alaskans and Canadians have a bear story — tales of fearsome grizzlies, even polar bears. But a mix of the two?

They’re known as pizzlies or grolars, and they’re a fusion of the Arctic white bear and their brown cousins. It’s a blend that’s been turning up more and more in parts of Alaska and Western Canada.

Last week, a strange-looking bear was shot by a hunter in Nunavut, a remote territory that curves around Canada’s Hudson Bay. Its head was large, like a grizzly’s, but its fur was white. The bear’s genetics were not tested, but Arctic researchers seem unified in their analysis: It’s a polar-grizzly mix. A hybrid.

Any moron liberal breathlessly pointing to this as an indication that globull warming is gonna kill us all should be asked once question:

How did Grizzly and Polar bears evolve? Why do they have similar genetics and appearance?

And who was to blame for the globull warming that caused that?

With all this talk of mating and male/female bears, aren’t they being binary and hetero normative in their analysis?

What about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered bears? What about their lives and their dignity???

Their populations have always overlapped, especially since an individual member of a bear population will cover extensive terrain throughout its life.

The scientifically ignorant have to resort to “climate change” and Darwinism to explain every single change in an animal population, of course.

>>> Arctic researchers seem unified in their analysis:

No researchers (worthy of the name as scientists) can/will put his/her name for such unified analysis, without any testing, period.

Actually, all the polar bears need to die because they are white.

Only when they are all gone and all traces of white privilege have been removed from their white environment can true social justice be realized for all the non-white species of bear.

In fact, now that I think of it, we need to find a way to quickly heat up the white arctic environment so we can be rid once and for all of that offensive white landscape that is actually hostile to the survival of non-white life forms.

"disparate populations are meeting, mating and creating a new breed that’s capable of reproducing."

I'm confused? Don't progressives celebrate "The Origin of Species", by Charles Darwin?
