Typical of the Left....

Allegedly taken by Dan Crosbie in 2004, It has been used to portray two bears trapped on an ice flow broken away by "global warming" and to try and paint a picture that the bears are endangered. However, another picture...

and this one is captioned as "Mother polar bear and cub on interesting ice sculpture carved by waves". photo © Amanda Byrd.

Green peas and George soros have been buying scientists for 20-something YEARS, Hm!
Where the flip did you think algore got his movie material from, and where the flip did you think the "Science" came from to support global scamming in the fitrst place? Do you think a bunch of scientists in some people's comune in Caly fornya did their "research" gratis?! For the common good or sumpin? mercy sakes.

Right.

Wake up over there.

Re: Polar Bear photo a fraud!

One good look at these 2 pictures will show you that they are different ones,taken from the same angle and from the same place at different times.In the second picture the female polar bear stands in a different position.
It is absolutely possible that they were taken by 2 different photographers.
In the entire article there is no mention of the difference between the 2 pictures.
This article tried to show how we are taken for a ride in the name of the environment and of course how liberals try to cheat,but it mostly proves that the writer did not pay attention to the different pictures and that he is overly eager to prove a non existent point.
Maybe the writer should take a reading course.

One more example of the Lefts quest for power. In case you need it spelled out, that is power over YOUR life. They do not care that they have to lie to get it, they just want it. Whatever vehicle suits their purpose, whether it be Dan Rather or Hillary wanting to take oil company stock holder profits.

Why would they be caught in so many lies if your best interest was at their heart?

In this case, the Government has nothing to do with it. Although I'm sure there are some in it that would sell their first born to promote this Leftist agenda.

Sure glad you spelled it out for me.

BTW, your seething detestation is showing again.

Re: Polar Bear photo a fraud!

Rolmops, the fraud is in the supposed circumstances surrounding the photos and in Mr. Crosbie's attempt to claim it as his own. There is also a question of Mr. Crosbie's whereabouts at the time the photo was reportedly taken. It is believed he was on an expedition no where near there at the time the photos were taken. It's journalistic fraud.

Re: Polar Bear photo a fraud!

It's illustrative, not documentary. Figurative, not literal. I'm sure everybody that's ever been to a zoo is perfectly aware that Polar Bears are better swimmers than climbers. It's artistic, not journalistic. Only somebody trying to show the stupidity of the other side would be silly enough to believe that people could be stupid enough to use these as proof of something. It's not "Look". It's "Imagine".
