Below a mystified polar bear sadly clings to his once "nation sized" iceberg as it melts like an ice cube on a stove due to mainly George Bush, America and man's overall neglect of the environment.I would make a great headline writer and "photoshop specialist" for "Global Warming Now" magazine wouldn't I?
Even though it sounds remarkably like what we hear quite often from the left, I not only obviously made up the above headline and blurb but manipulated the picture to even make the polar bear look sad clinging to his little chunk of ice, or so it appears.
The story below contains the real picture and the truth about these polar bears and photo op shots we have been seeing on Drudge and elsewhere mis-characterizing their situation as dire when in fact they are flourishing like never before, if anything can be attributed to the minute temperature changes detected in the Arctic recently that is it.
Polar bears 'thriving as the Arctic warms up'
International News | News | Telegraph: "Pictures of a polar bear floating precariously on a tiny iceberg have become the defining image of global warming but may be misleading, according to a new study."A survey of the animals' numbers in Canada's eastern Arctic has revealed that they are thriving, not declining, because of mankind's interference in the environment.
In the Davis Strait area, a 140,000-square kilometre region, the polar bear population has grown from 850 in the mid-1980s to 2,100 today.
"There aren't just a few more bears. There are a hell of a lot more bears," said Mitch Taylor, a polar bear biologist who has spent 20 years studying the animals.
His findings back the claims of Inuit hunters who have long claimed that they were seeing more bears. read more
