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

“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.

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.


Some people just bitch about global warning. But here is a valid, practical application. Action Now!

You’re presuming that MSM reporters are human.

Sounds like the MSM going after Trump.

Also sounds like the plot of a Stephen King novel.

Could?? COULD?? Polar bears have been STALKING humans for food since the beginning. Slow, easy prey. One look at the polar landscape should give those idiot envirowhackos a clue.

The story is told in Montana that back in the 1800s, an Indian tribe was wiped out by disease. The Grizzly Bears discovered the bodies and began to feast.

The Bears developed a taste for human flesh.

To this day, you can see Grizzly Bears standing along Highway 93 carrying bottles of White Zinfandel and a baked potato looking for their next tasty victim.

We call them polar bears, but they haven’t nearly reached the pole itself. A hypothetically warming earth would send both them and their usual food further north yet. Ever look at a map of northern Canada and Siberia? Lots and lots of space yet. Rest easy, bears and humans.

***Could Develop Taste For Native People, Whole Tribes Now Threatened”***

I saw grandma Eskimo give up her life to a polar bear so her grand kids could later eat the bear.
THE SAVAGE INNOCENTS (1960) The fact, at my age, I can remember this movie is proof I haven’t “lost it” yet.
