Critics find another global warming fraud – walruses leaping to their deaths due to reduced ice
American Thinker ^ | 09/03/2019 | Thomas Lifson

When they aren’t citing the fraudulent claim that 97% of scientists back global warming alarmism, those who wish to panic us into handing over control of all energy usage to governments resort to emotional imagery of animals they claim are endangered by global warming. The notorious picture of a polar bear on a piece of ice was used for years, until it became clear that polar bear populations are growing, and that polar bears love to ride ice and then go for a swim.

Time for new creature to be used to evoke feelings of pity and guilt, those emotions that progressives continually exploit. And into the breach came no less a revered icon than Sir David Attenborough, the veteran BBC broadcaster and BBC executive often labeled a “national treasure” in British polls and publications.  In his Netflix series Our Planet Sir David’s narration claimed that walruses have been driven to suicidal falls from rugged cliffs because there is no more ice for them.

Watch the trailer below, cued to the moment a narrator states, “They’d be on the ice now, if they could be….”

But before you start calling for the criminal prosecution of fossil fuel executives, as Bernie Sanders now does, consider the evidence assembled by the Global Warming Policy Forum that walruses diving from cliffs is a behavior that far predates claims of global warming, and that ”national treasure” Attenborough has defrauded his viewers.

Naturalist Sir David Attenborough finds himself accused of misleading the public in his Netflix documentary Our Planet.

Mountain climbing walruses (walrii) jumping to their deaths?

Next they will talk about polar bears in the Antarctic and penguins in the Arctic being extinct.

Agreed, mu ears an eyes shut off when I hear about climate change because of the over hype and lack of reasonable discussion.

Oh no! Due to global warming, the walruses are mating with lemmings and not only are the walruses jumping off cliffs, but the lemmings are chest-thumping each other.. and growing tusks!
Quickly now, send ALL of your money to Al Gore! While there is still time! For the love of the children!

Leaping? I thought they were too dumpy to jump anywhere.
That’s like expecting a big bowl of jello to suddenly
‘launch itself’ over a cliff. I know, close up, Sea Lions can bite and damage humans with no problem. Who’s going to get that close to those smelly things in the first place?

For the Darwinists isn’t this kind of thing a sign of evolution? a million years from now walrus will have fingers and toes to better grip the steep slopes.

They keep trying. Every danmed documentary starts off nice, then slowly they build up to the climax, when in reverent tones the narrator pronounces the words “global warming.”

That’s already been proven, climate-denier!
