Add to the LONG list of things caused by Global Warming. There can be no other explanation. None. The science is settled.

Yeah, riiiiiight.
It’s amazing how gullable journalists are.
But, we must always remember, science was most definitely NOT their friend.
Else, why did they have to resort to the almost lowest form of work?
The lowest, of course, is to be a congresscritter.

Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the dams on its tributaries, low water release due to industrial diversions or, for that matter, industrial accidents like the Mount Polley tailings dam failure.

Naw. Gotta be those evil Trump supporters...

To be honest, as a climate change skeptic I concede a gradual warming of the planet is ongoing. I just don’t believe that CO2 has anything to do with it. Bears will avoid diseased flesh and salmon have been afflicted with a virus for years. Bears are smarter than humans...the latter believing that we can change either climate or natural selection...

Rather than making the observation and thinking he may be learning something about the bears, he concludes that the bears are doing it wrong. Stupid bears didn’t go to college, after all.

FTA:

The island's brown bears typically feed first on salmon in early summer, followed by elderberries later in the season, in late August and September.

Considering it's August 26th, I'd say the bears are right on schedule.

This reads to me like bears are doing what they always do. August is almost over, so berry-eating is what they should be doing, yes?

Bears are omnivores and will gorge on berries when available - high in calories, tasty, and not nearly as much effort as chasing something with fins in cold, rushing water. This has been going on for all of the grizzly bear’s existence, it’s not some recent new behavior triggered by global warming.

The bears on our land in the Southern Tier in NY go crazy over our berry bushes.

Alaska salmon return from the ocean to the streams of their birth in predictable waves. In between waves there might be a slight pause when the salmon are not as plentiful. Being as they are not leftist leeches the bears just might go out and find another food source while awaiting the next wave of salmon. I once shot a black bear in Prince William Sound in September that was feeding in a stream full of spawning pink salmon. His stomach contents were a mixture of berries and salmon. I didn’t realize it at the time (early 1980’s) but that must have been due to global warming. I thought he was just doing what bears do - eating all available food sources while they were available. Geez, I need to get a Phd so I can be smart like libtards.

It's simple.

Because even grizzlies have social justice parents, these young uns have become vegans in order to save salmon for indigenous peoples who still are exploited by white people.

I was out on the highway this morning and there was a Grizzly hitchhiking.

Being a charitable kind of guy, I stopped to give him a lift.

“Where you going to?”, I asked him.

“I’m headed to Texas to eat some of those washed up alligators”, he says.

“Sorry”, I says. “I’m just going to the gas station.”

What does a griz eat? Anything it wants.

I think this dipshit should go interview the griz and ask face to face.

Yes! Indeed the US northwest has had a very warm summer. Here in the Upper Midwest[i.e.Minnesota], my tomato plants only developed blossoms early in July which meant the fruit is ripening in the last week of August. I picked my first tomato yesterday, the 25th day of August.

Typical of climatologists who push the AGW dogma, They ignore the geographical areas which are having a cold summer.

"Grizzly bears have stopped eating salmon in favour of elderberries after being forced to make a choice due to climate change" Sure they have wanker...

The writer doesn’t seem to understand the word “omnivore”. Bears will eat most anything. I know some people in Telluride, Colorado whose garbage bin resembles a Brinks truck to keep grizzles from scavenging their refuse. Besides, it’s well known that bears seem to crave and purposely (instinctively) eat berries and other such foods after hibernation to help them pass the “stopper” in their digestive tract that keeps them plugged during the long winter months slumbering in a den.

What does this have to do with bears? Elderberries are easier to catch, don't fight back, and are found on dry land. If they are available, why wouldn't an omnivore spend its time enjoying them. If the author's intent is to indicate "climate change" has extended the elderberry growing season, well then I say WooHoo, go climate change, go! I like elderberry wine.

This is news? The bears love all the berries on my family’s upstate NY farm, and always have. These climate change whack jobs are seriously brain impaired.
