The future looks bleak for the bears as they balance perilously on the ice that was bobbing around under their weight — but amazingly experts said the pair probably made it safely back to shore.
“… amazingly…”
The warmers will go down with the polar bears to keep this scam going, although polar bears can swim great distances. They are not drowning or dying out.
Those pushing the global warming hoax are.
Have friends in Alaska, who say that the polar bear population is exploding and there is no reason for them to be on the endangered species list. (I believe Gov Palin tried to get them taken off a couple of years ago, and the current gov is trying as well.) They also say that because it’s so, the bears are coming in contact with humans more often, and will be a clear and present danger as they wander into towns looking for food. It’s not that the ice and hunting grounds that are shrinking- it’s that their numbers are increasing!
This picture and the commercial that Noah Wylie does, are hoaxes and should be exposed as such! Let’s start worrying about OUR own extinction through socialism and let the bears go about their own business!
Fur Seals & others are their main diet & Polar Bears will swim great distances to follow a pack of them. They may have been waiting for some to surface, as seals can dive much deeper than the Bears can. Polar Bears will stand by a breathing hole on an ice pack for hours waiting for careless seal to come up for a breath of air & very seldom miss one when they do surface. The Polar Bear population has been increasing for many years now & are plentiful & in no danger of extinction at the present time. Grizzlies, Kodiak, Polar Bears & North American Black Bears have been a study interest of mine for about twenty years or so.
I downloaded it to get it into photoshop so I could see what is in the cubs mouth. Couldn’t enlarge much more without losing detail so I’m thinking this was taken with a zoom lens.
To me it looks like they stopped on that little chip of ice to eat something they’d caught.
I agree that the background looks odd. But, it might be an artifact of focusing a zooming lens, rather than of Photoshop.
something looks weird to me about the perspective in front of the iceberg and behind it. Photoshop job? Look at the fact that we seem to be looking the bears at eye level (so we are at a low angle). However, the water seems to rise as it gets farther behind them. Just saying.
btw, link is dead

Never mind the fact that the bears can easily swim 60 miles at a stretch in that ice-cold water.
I’m sure that if the shot wasn’t so centered on the bears, the shore is visible off in the distance, meaning the bears just hung out there for some unfathomable reason (maybe they just didn’t feel like swimming back and held on as long as they could, who knows?)
Never mind the fact that the bears find their food around open water and without it, they would die.

“And he claimed it was not ‘standard practice’ to release data and computer models so other scientists could check and challenge research. ”
I would like to hear Bill Nye’s response to this…
I’m not a scientist, nor do I play one on TV, but isn’t there a vast difference between an ice floe and an iceburg?
