"Journalist photographs heartbreaking scene of a starving polar bear in Canada." "Tragic Video 'Rips Your Heart Out of your Chest'" "The bear was just skin and bones as it wandered on ice-free land on Baffin Island." "Warming climate depletes the ice that's the bears' normal hunting grounds." "Polar bears are often the first arctic animals to feel the effects of higher climate temperatures."

Somebody help me out here.

It is a given that every animal requires a certain number of calories to survive. My understanding would be that in cold country, as the temperature decreases, more calories are required to maintain body heat. Conversely, as the temperature increases, less calories are required.

Now the “Warmests” would have us believe: warming temps = less ice = harder for bears to catch food. However, if the temps are increasing, bears will require less food.

My question is: how much less? Enough to cover the deficit of sea ice?

Right you are! They could have fed that poor bear Catherine McKenna, Canada’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change.

Hey cameraman, I know you have some Chunky Soup in your backpack.

If you really care about the bear, give it to him.

By the way, the polar bear is an apex predator. The most common cause of death in them is STARVATION. It happens when they become too old to hunt, or get injured.

But propaganda is fun.

If he really really cared, he'd offer himself. It's all about the bears after all...

Feed him AlGore, he’d be well-fed for a few weeks.

So the journalist just photographs the bear instead of arranging for an emergency airlift of picnic baskets?

Polar bear numbers have risen since 2005, no matter how you look at it:

Could it be that rising population of polar bears is causing stress on the feed stock, and increasing competition, causing starvation as part of a natural cycle?

Contrarian view...

Notice the increasing mind disease of animal worship used as an excuse for generalized hatred against other human beings (misanthropy). This strange accessory of socialism came from Europe within the last three generations, roughly, and is working its way through western U.S. states toward the east.

Use whatever necessary measures to stop it.

Under Darwins book on evolution, the strong survive. Those unable to adapt will perish. This is the crap forced on me in the 60s.

Waiting for the Sally Struthers commercials “for just $3800 a month you can feed a starving polar bear.”

#8: "How did polar bears survive the Medieval warming period when there was much less Arctic sea is than there is now?"

Good point. And then there is Greenland. Why did the vikings choose that name? Oh, yes. I remember—because it was so warm that it was green from lush vegetation.

Probably some whacko Greenpeace activists convinced the bear to give up meat and go vegan! Poor bear!
