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."

Everyone knows that PBs do not die of disease or old age ... only by starvation at the hands of the vile deniers ...
Nuff said
It doesn’t sound like an autopsy was performed; it could have been shot for all we know.
Before climate change, polar bears were immortal.
Somebody has been playing the polar bear game.
COD by a photographer. That’s good enough for me...
First Polar Bear to ever die. So sad. If only the climate wouldn’t change.
How about a damn autopsy?
It looks like it exploded, must be Muslims.
I don’t see a pillow over its’ head.
There can be only one.
See all the feathers? The bear was found with a pillow over its face.
Why do we need an autopsy when we “know” it was man-made climate change that killed the poor little guy?
What if it was just old or diseased?
Starved to death....An excellent assumption by an environmental activist....for his new book.
How do we know it didn’t FREEZE to death?
If not for modern man Polar Bear would live for 1,000 years and we’d never see one die!
It might have been a Democrat polar bear, starved to death waiting for free handouts.
“The frozen remains of this young bear point to starvation.”
Hogwash. The guy’s a photographer, not a pathologist, so he has no clue what killed that bear.
