They’re afraid he’ll let the cat out of the bag, that polar bears can swim, lol. Poor babies, stranded on ice floes, doomed to starve and drown ... such a compelling narrative.
The name of the group is called Polar Bear Scientific Group...that pretty much tells you it’s a kook-fringe group.
Here's the problem ~ Arctic Sea Ice this summer is out of control.
And not just swim, but they can swim for miles. And do.
Polar bears are at the top of their food chain and have no natural enemies and practically no diseases. Consequently, rather than being killed or dying suddenly, the majority become unable to hunt by the natural aging process, and starve. It’s not pretty, but it’s natural. And it’s got nothing to do with humans.
