I wonder what the poor bears did when it was warmer than it is now 1000 and 5000 years ago ???
Several years ago right before I was going on vacation a co-worker asked me if I was doing anything special and I told her that I was going on a seal clubbing expedition with some old college buddies. Asked her if she was interested in some fur to make a hat, muff, or maybe even some boots. She was not happy and thought I was serious.
Is that John F'n Kerry hugging that polar bear?
Global Warming Takes Back Seat at Annual CARE Awards
Planetary catastrophes such as asteroid impacts and global warming were no match for the latest threat to humanity revealed during the annual CARE Awards competition.
(Dallas, Texas) While most of us would consider threats of global destruction to be inappropriate subjects for an award competition, there are many scientists who would disagree. And most of them were in Dallas this week.
The world's leading scientific doomsayers have converged on this sprawling Texas city to attend the annual awards dinner for the coveted Calamities About to Ruin Earth (CARE) awards.
Though, Pristine Alaskan Glacier Turns Into Tropical Wasteland is pretty darn good. Especially because of the "editor's note".
May I be among the first to call Bullsh*t. The way the "hunter" is dressed and the snow conditions in the photo show that it is plenty cold enough for the bear to stay cool.
Those polar bears are smart....if they roll over and play dead they can get a tasty dinner without much effort......white meat...tasts like chicken.
omg, that pic just makes me sweat! You can see by all the ice and the heavy coat that its hot as hell there!
You're right - or that guy in the pic is an idiot. Polar bears are fierce hunters and extremely dangerous.
collapsed from heat exhaustion in the snow. What a joke.
They seem to survive fine at the zoos down here in the south during the summer without heat exhaustion so it definitely wouldn't have heat exhaustion in the snow and ice.
No you may not.
(snicker, snicker, snicker...)
That could be a sedated bear, or a shot bear in a 'happy hunter' shot used in the satire story.
This is a dead give away also.
Nobody in their right mind would try to revive a polar bear - unless that is they don't mind being the bears main course at his next meal.
Dr. Slander recounted a recent incident in which a polar bear attacked a local homeless man, and had devoured only a small part of the man's body before collapsing from exhaustion. "Because of global warming, the bears' normal way of life is changing rapidly..it's tragic."
Dr. Slander - that's cute.
Freeper Eva taught me a new word today. Now I get to use it.
Are you ready?
Here goes.

My fav-o-rite line is uttered by Del, "Twern't Mormons!"
