What? No mention of National Geographic not so long ago having to retract and apologise for their "starving and heading for extinction" polar bear documentary? The director found a bear that was dying of leukemia and, instead of reporting it to the authorities so that the animal could be humanely put-down, he came back with a film crew and presented it as a "starving bear" - due to the "vanishing ice". It was such a cruel and callous act - he was very close to being prosecuted.

Wait these are the same people who claimed polar bears would be gone. Interesting.

What it shows is that the poles are shifting faster than ever and will shift in September 2023

Where did that guy get his PhD? Polar bears are at record numbers (over 30, 000) since hunting was banned and the climate has only warmed slightly in the last 100 years, with no significant change in annual Arctic sea ice over the last 50 years - since it was measured. Over-population means bears are moving towards human settlements to feed on human waste bins. Easier than hunting seals.
“Today we live in an unusually cold period in the history of life on Earth and there is no reason to believe that a warmer climate would be anything but beneficial to humans and the majority of other species…a warmer temperature than today’s would be far better than a cooler one”
“We had both higher temperatures and an ice age at a time when CO2 emissions were 10 times than they are today. There is no scientific proof that human emissions of CO2 are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the past 100 years [and this] fundamentally contradicts the certainty that human caused CO2 emissions are the main cause of global warming”.
Dr Patrick Moore, Environmental Scientist and Co-founder of Greenpeace. 2016

Polar Bears have adapted and are doing well. All species adapt or die out. Humans have adapted to climate change ever since we started burning wood to heat our caves.

You mean the animals are adapting to the changing environment just as they have done all along? How tragic...😭😭😭

Fact is they have been doing that long befor we were here and will continue to do so even after we are gone... So I don't get what the problem is...
