For a polar bear, I think she's kinda cute.

Those ice caps are melting so terribly from our man made pollution to our earth. Those poor polar bears may not see next year. Stop this global crisis and save these poor creatures. </Sarc>

Beautiful photos, but I wish David Attenborough would stop with all the drama.

Nice fairy story. It is summer and ice melts, nothing new here. The brutish had Greenland 17% under its real size so I wonder what they are trying to pull here.

Are they sure the ice caps aren’t melting due to volcanic activity? If that were the reason, would they admit it?

Sir David, I think the polar ice caps will be there for a much longer time than you can possibly imagine.

From the expressions on their faces, I'd say it's more likely the after-effects of her asking him if her butt looked fat.

“melting polar worlds”

An article of faith from the AGW catechism.

Our melting polar worlds have been captured in breathtaking pictures by the BBC for this autumn's landmark natural history series Frozen Planet.

This is the type of political overtones you see nearly everywhere today. Note the term melting polar world as if it's established that this is a fact. This is a Goebbels tactic. Just keep telling the big lie long enough and it will become the truth whether it is or not. The English Press is the absolute worst at this but the American Press isn't far behind. Both are terrible on this subject.

“STEP RIGHT UP, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE. STEP RIGHT UP”

I don't believe these barkers of “global warming” hysterics any more than the carny folks trying to separate me from my money.

What will the shills be crying centuries from now when the Earth begins another Ice Age?
History will look back on us and say “wow were they a dumb group, pity they were fooled by Gore et. al.”.

Our Earth has never had a stable climate. Don't be fooled by those frauds who say it has!

Well, I am glad they got these pictures because over the next 8-10 years the icepack is going to become so thick that they won’t be able to get to the spots they need to to get these photos.

The world is cooling....

It is the last chance to see the world's greatest wildernesses before they change forever, according to narrator Sir David Attenborough.

I thought Attenborough was smarter than that; but maybe he was just reading what the writers wrote. That statement is absurd on its face.

A few weeks ago our 11 year son was watching the news with us and the global warming subject came up. When my wife called the whole subject a farce, my son spoke up and informed us that global warming was what was hurting all the polar bears and penguins in the Arctic. Before he went any further, I spoke up and said, “Son, there are no penguins in the Arctic”. As he was getting ready to argue with me, I added, “global warming killed them all. Now they are only in the Antarctic.” My arm still hurts where my wife punched me.

A giant iceberg hundreds of metres across which would dwarf most of the world's buildings. It collapsed from Store Glacier on the west coast of Greenland.

It is instructive to read about how and why icebergs come about. There's plenty of snow and ice in Maine but there are no icebergs calving from its coast.

Is the BBC solar powered? Why don’t they save the planet by broadcasting an appeal to their viewers to turn off their TVs and never watch them again. Then they can shut down the power to the BBC and go home and sit in the dark.
