Polar bears in their natural habitat aren’t stranded hundreds of miles out to sea.

There was a thread about this a few weeks back. Seems the land/glacier (I forget which) was only a hundred yards or so away. It was cropped out.

“Associated Press in their caption to us told us that the picture was taken of melting ice caps and to do with global warming and that it was sent to them by a Canadian ice authority.”

The “ice authority” was the college-age photographer. Amazing proof of agenda all the way up the ladder (except for the photographer), saving that photo for two years and whipping it out on cue.

That`s exactly what Al Gore does. He plays this hoax “Here are some mountains in Italy 25 years ago, here they are today with no snow.” But what he doesn`t tell you, the pic of the mountain 25 years ago was taken in winter, and the one with no snow was taken in summer.

How do I know I know this? My kid told me..”Daddy, that one is summertime” lol! And he`s right! Even a kid can see through the Gore hoax. (I no longer call it “global warming” I call it the “Gore hoax”...There is no global warming, there is only the Gore hoax and the suckers who believe it. So it`s not the “global warming debate”, it`s the “Gore hoax debate”.)

DISPATCH from Global Warming101.com expidition on Polar Bears.......
Otherwise, the day seemed somewhat uneventful, as the ice stretched out before us, endlessly to the north Atlantic. The snow was deep all morning, and the sleds dragged with the added friction. Hoping to avoid the pockets of deep slush that lay hidden underneath the snow, we took to higher ground, following the line of a small pressure ridge. The polar bears must have been thinking the same thing as their tracks criss-crossed ours in many places.

We made camp out on the sea ice, preferring a 360 degree view of our surroundings. Dogs were staked out in u-shape and tents set up inside. I was just setting up the stove inside my tent when Stetson yelled “polar bear!” We all came out to see a young bear (judging by it’s size) about 50 yards from camp. It had managed to get that close without the dogs even noticing! We grabbed out flare guns (and cameras) watched to see what it would do. Seeming more curious than anything else, it slowly walked away from us, turning back occasionally to get second look. Lukie (much braver than I!) walked out to chase it off. Bets are on that the bear will be back for a closer investigation this evening. Fortunately he looked well fed and not too aggressive. And what a coat he had on him! It was beautiful sight (from a safe distance).

NOte that the same environmentalists who are saying the polar bears are in danger remark how many polar bears are in the area and how well fed they look. Certainly not the dire stories and pictures you see in the MSM

What is it gonna take to get people to act? I am in tears seeing that poor snowman. To think now he might only be a pile of water is just too much. I am gonna have to go out and join the Death to Bush March to make me feel better.

And these polar bears weren't stranded and they weren't hundreds of miles out to sea.
