I think it's photoshopped.

Those who know about such things can figure it out...

BTW, how about a "hot topic" for Global Warming?

Looks normal to me.. The funny thing is if you watch any discovery channel show on polar bears, you see pics like this all the time as a 'normal' image..

I don't think it's photoshopped, but I think the story is hyped. The bears must have been able to access this narrow piece of ice... It's incredible the ice melted away quickly while they were sitting on it.

Well the polar bears are up pretty high on very narrow ledges. but the photo means absolutely nothing even if it's the real thing. These polar bears were not in any trouble. It's silly.

I don't know why you would think it was photoshopped. It shows polar bears in their natural environment.

Polar bears don't get 'marooned' on ice floes anyway.

They are quite good swimmers and probably swam out there in the first place.

Exactly.

Unless of course these are non-swimming polar bears.

And if they are, it's Bush's fault for not building swimming pools in the neighborhoods where these deprived creatures have to live.

Another poster said polar bears can swim very well, and are in no danger from being stranded on ice.

I don't think it's photoshopped... I just think they're taking picture of a couple of polar bears playing on some floating ice or climbing to get a better view and trying to use it as some sort of vastly overdramatic metaphor.

Three of the four pics, with bears swimming around, walking around, etc, look normal to me but I'm calling bull$#!+ on the one with the bears on top of the ice floe.

It ain't right.

Man, that global warming! Looks like that iceberg melted in a matter of minutes. Poor bears, caught completely by surprise!

What is on the right? The edge shows continuous ice, is it connected to more ice or "land"?

The ice probably broke away while the big fat polar bears were walking on it. Any of you Einsteins ever thought of that?

Those polar bears are "fishing" and are just taking advantages of visibility from that vantage point. They are not dumb enough to get stranded. And they don't need human beings to worry about them.

Leave it to the media to turn a common occurrence into a production.

It does look photoshopped. Doesn't look like enough footing for the bear on the right to just be standing there.

...not to mention that if that much ice is above the water, there's much more below the surface.
