Polar Bear Eating Reindeer Proposed as ‘Evidence of Climate Change(there's polar bears?)
breitbart.com ^ | 11/29/2021 | Thomas D Williams

It appears “polar bears are being forced to change their eating habits” thanks to global warming, alarmists at Euronews announced Sunday.

The article cites video footage of a single polar bear chasing a reindeer into the water and killing it in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, warning that the incident represents “another stark indication of climate change.”

“Retreating sea ice leaves bears stranded on land for longer periods,” the article declares, and thus, “with fewer seals and a steadily rising reindeer population in Svalbard” polar bears are obliged to change their diet in favor of reindeer.

The video, taken by a research team from a Polish scientific station, suggests “polar bears are increasingly preying on land-based animals to make up for their limited access to their normal diet,” it asserts.

"...thanks to global warming..." Thanks? Anyway, where did they find any polar bears that hadn't drifted away on rapidly melting ice floes? They need to do some face to face interviews with these bears to find out what's really going on. Perhaps the bears will feel "obliged" to alter their diet yet again. At least we could hope.

When polar bears start to eat the penguins, then I will worry.

Two polar bears and a reindeer deciding what to have for dinner. Oh, never mind.

Looks to me like adaptation. I thought these people were all Darwinists.

That article is absurd, polar bears hunt and kill caribou all over northern Canada.

Especially if they’re calving. It’s like a mobile buffet when that season comes around.

Santa sitting nearby as they all look at him and his FAT body of stored calories.

This article is ridiculous-— polar bears will eat CARRION of reindeer— as they can rarely catch them on the run. Carrion- dead reindeer they fight the wolves off of to feed.

Research from the year 2000 similarly found polar bears are “opportunistic” and will prey on whatever presents itself.

No shit, Sherlock. It's a Polar Bear.

Two reindeer see increasing signs polar bears are in the area and closing in.

One reindeer slips on his four running shoes.

Other says: “What a jerk you are. You aren’t going to be fast enough to outrun a bear.”

First one: “I don’t have to outrun the bear. I only have to outrun you.”

Takes off running.

When Algore was born there were 5000 polar bears scattered throughout the Arctic.

Today, with all the stresses from overhunting, global warming and habitat encroachment, only 30,000 remain...

Three weeks ago, I returned from Churchill where I photographed polar bears and other arctic wildlife. Here’s a link to my polar bear pics:

I never heard of a reindeer eating a polar bear before.

That title really had me guessing. Click bait?

Polar bears will eat humans. Good for combating climate change?

Uh ... polar bears eat things. They’re carnivores. How is this “evidence” of climate change?

Al Gore said Arctic sea ice would be totally melted by 2014.. and all polar bears would be dead.
