WaPo: Polar Bears ‘Hurt By Climate Change’ Could Develop A Taste For Human Flesh
dailycaller.com ^ | 7/14/2017

Posted on 07/14/2017 7:05:57 AM PDT by Helicondelta

“Polar bears hurt by climate change are more likely to turn to a new food source — humans” is the rather chilling headline WaPo went with in its article, published Thursday. The Post reported that with higher temperatures, “the more likely polar bears are to interact with humans — and possibly attack and eat them.”

WaPo relied on a recently-published study in the Wildlife Society Bulletin that looked at recorded polar bear attacks going back to 1870. The authors found “no trend” in the number of attacks by decade through 2014, which you’d think would count against the claim that bear attacks increase with less ice, but you thought wrong.

...Could Develop A Taste For Human Flesh

This is HUGE!! I suggest they send a lot of MSM reporters up there to investigate this! After all, this is globull warming we're talking about here. We need as many MSM reporters up there to verify whether the polar bears are developing a taste for human flesh.

Leftists are not half as smart as they think they are. You are very astute to notice they did not bring in the threat to the Inuit tribe in the Arctic Circle. That would have been a prize winning headline.

After all, white people would not be as delicious as the natives, not having a diet high in fish./s

Pshaw
Icebergs are breaking loose and drifting.

Soon there will be polar bears off the New York New Jersey coast and there won’t be any penguins for them to eat.

Coming soon to SciFi SyFy.

Dogs and cats too. A tiny lizard can mail and eat an entire human if they consume too much carbon.

When they tire of temperature, they can do salinity of the sea or dryness of the breeze.

ALL OF IT IS YOUR FAULT. PAY UP NOW! What a great scam that most people I know slipped right into believing in.

“If you don’t support ‘climate change’ the bears will eat you...”

“If you don’t leave Ocare along, the bears will eat you...”

“If you don’t believe that Russia hacked our election, the bears will eat you...”

“If you don’t believe every word the Hitler Media tells you, the bears will eat you...”

Right, and we were all born this morning???

Gotta wonder if their theory of man-eating polar bears spurred on by their make-believe “global warming” hoax was given to them by anonymous sources (they’re already working overtime to see if there’s any connection to Trump and Russia).

Another attempt by the “chicken little” community to scare the timid, weak and those who cannot think for themselves to demand that we stop global warming before the bears will actually immigrate to south Florida to eat the “cream of the crop”...New York liberals!

“the Wildlife Society Bulletin that looked at recorded polar bear attacks going back to 1870. The authors found “no trend” in the number of attacks by decade through 2014”

144 years of NO TREND by at least 2 generations of ‘attack recorders’ says it all for ME.

Climate Change is BULL HOCKEY, as is Al Gore.
