Remember that video of an emaciated Baffin Island polar bear that went viral last December? It became the poster bear for climate change. National Geographic made a stunning admission - it was a bit bogus.
The Statement:
National Geographic went too far in drawing a definitive connection between climate change and a particular starving polar bear in the opening caption of our video about the animal. We said, "This is what climate change looks like." While science has established that there is a strong connection between melting sea ice and polar bears dying off, there is no way to know for certain why this bear was on the verge of death. This is an updated version of the video.
In other words, it was completely bogus. There was zero evidence the bears condition and climate change were tied together.

... another libtard fake but accurate moment ...
Not even closely accurate. Just FAKE.
TOTAL LIE.
Why is the Polar Bear smiling???? He found a dry place to pee......
However, that is pure speculation since "science" has not established that
1) sea ice is melting at anything outside normal rates, if at all. And
2) polar bears are not dying off at rates exceeding the norm.
If the results are falsified, it's most likely the cause is as well.
So why is NatGeo coming clean (sort of) all of a sudden?
Nah, really?
I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you!
“”””Next thing you’ll tell me is that polar bears don’t drink Coke.”””””””””””””
You must not know much about polar bears. They don’t drink Coke. They are weight conscious so they only drink Diet Coke.
Al Gore made more money off of this fakery than he ever would have out of winning the election.
It was AN ANCIENT BEAR! Looking for a quiet place to die. Its grandcubs might find the corpse and be sustained for another month. Jeeze, Nat Geo bleeding heart snowflakes... Get your heads out of your nether regions.Pay attention to the way things ARE, not the way you think they ought to be. There is a link somewhere to a place called, “Nature is SCARY!”
Now do straws.
Last time I looked Polar bear populations were increasing in some regions, falling in others, not so much from climate change as human hunting, or absence of.
In the winter polar bears stalk the holes seals use to come up through the ice to breath. Hunting is fairly easy. The ice has always thawed in the summer, and polar bears starve then. A lot of them don’t make it.
Ice is well within historical ranges.
Because they are now owned by FOX News.
Still sells papers.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
maybe it had a stomach tumor or some such, it does happen
A Bit of a Fraud.
Like being a Bit Pregnant.
