A photographer captured an image of a polar bear in the Canadian Arctic that has gone viral.
Sebastian Copeland blamed climate change for the death--or more specifically, the melting sea ice in the area, which makes it harder for the polar bears to hunt. The picture shows a polar bear's emaciated corpse on a patch of rocky ground, which Copeland came across while trekking in the Arctic.
"For the state of the ice in general, we're headed into uncharted territory. There's no doubt about it," Copeland wrote accompanying the photograph in his new book "Arctica: The Vanishing North," reported the Daily Mail.
"The frozen remains of this young bear point to starvation. "The faster retreat of the sea ice, a bear's favoured spot for seal hunting, leads to longer fasting periods and the demise of more animals from starvation."

LOL!
They also never get injuries or infections or killed in fights with other bears.
If the fur had been plucked out by birds or foxes, etc. while feeding on the corpse then it would have been scattered more randomly.
It's nice the way it all fits neatly within a 16:9 TV frame!
“favored spot for seal hunting.”
Look. Either the bear dies or a couple dozen seals die. Which will it be, enviros?
How do we know the bear wasn’t anorexic?
geeez
i forgot
POLAR BEARS LIVE FOREVER
I’m no expert but it looks to me like he choked to death eating an oilfield worker.
Hard hats and steel toe boots have a tendency to get stuck in the throat.

It looks like it was hit by a meteor. POOOOOOOF!
How do we know he wasn't depressed from a case of "white guilt."? When I get a case of guilt from white privilege, I don't feel like doing a damn thing.
Maybe there was microaggression from seals teasing him.
The potential causes of death are endless, and "JOHN KERRY WAS NOT THERE TO SAVE HIM!!!"
Neither, loser!
Sayyyyyy... you don't suppose that actually's what happened? The only fair way.
Nobody eats nobody and everybody starves.
The end.
Vegetarian: Indian word for a bad hunter.
Either this bear decided to become a vegetarian in a place where there are no plants, or something else, such as disease, killed it (shocking news: there are causes of death in the animal world besides global climate change).
This guy’s pandering to the dumbest of the dumb:
Those with a certificate of attendance from a government school.
Dig a big hole in the ice.
Place a bunch of peas around the hole.
When the Bear comes to take a pea, you kick him in the ice-hole.
(3rd grade humor, he-he)
What = How
A friend of mine that works on the N slope said the sound of a car door opening is to a polar bear as the sound of a can opener is to a dog.
FEEDING TIME!
Nice.
