National Geographic Admits ‘Starving Polar Bear’ Was a Bit of a Fraud

What is apparent is that the global population of polar bears has not declined over the last 30 years, as the PBSG status tables indicate.

National Geographic embraced the global warming fraud wholehearted and started interjecting Leftist commentary on political issues quite a while ago. It was tragic to someone like me, who had subscribed since the late Sixties (when I was about five) and I credit the old National Geographic for being a major force in my self-education. My knowledge base certainly annoyed my government school teachers.

Unfortunately, the new National Geographic is more likely to turn out Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezes by the thousands.

The bears look like this in summer, completely normal and I’ve read about residents up there who laugh at the phoney scientists who photograph the bears and blame global warming.

Pretty much any of their shows mention the global warming. Same for PBS shows.

National Geographic was once a great publication

Its not any more (for a while)

Soft headed leftism has no place in science.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Ditto for (un)Scientific American.

The National Geographic Magazine committed fraud...next it will say those topless native pictures were from Penthouse...

It was a huge fraud. They should be sued out of existence.

How much of taxpayer money was spent because of that picture?

The first things I thought of when I first saw this was:
1. Is the bear old and dying?
2. Is the bear sick?
3. Where are the rest of the starving and emaciated polar bears?

I tend to attempt to engage my brain every now and then, and would love it if more people would do the same thing.

Next think you know, Nissan will admit that polar bears really didn’t hug Nissan Leaf drivers.

[Chaguito]

Actually, the photo stands in opposition to the NatGeo thesis: Extrapolating from one bear, as they did, we can conclude that climate change allows polar bears to live long enough to die of starvation.
