Environmental Defense Fund - Polar Bears

[anouskatkout]

simple work with a big message (Y) bravo

[Shaune57]

I know this is out of left field, BUT Could Arctic Polar Bears be relocated to Antarctica? It may be their only chance of surviving in the wild in the near future.

[Noonkip]

@Shaune57 Noooo. That would be nightmarish. Human interference with nature has solved certain problems in the past, but also created new ones. Who knows what could happen to Arctic native species.

[frenchiepoopy]

Not gonna lie, I clicked on this hoping the environmental defense fund meant incorporating armed polar bears into the military... that would be so badass

[playmkr278]

Here's an idea. Do your own study environmentalists. Go walking out in the Polar Bears environment and check which of us is right. Visit the Polar Bears directly for us and pet them.

[StitchxHare]

@playmkr278 What exactly are you trying to say. What does this have to do with how we should not continue puking pollution into the environment. I don't get it. What are you insinuating.

[playmkr278]

@StitchxHare Correct.

[StitchxHare]

@playmkr278 Pardon me, but you'll have to be more specific. That was a virtually meaningless response. I'm genuinely interested in having a debate here.

[playmkr278]

Global warming that is 'so-called' melting the ice has somehow increased the amount of ice. Weird.

[benglow]

Stars of the Lid. Beautiful.

[blackopsVI]

i gess this dumbass is unaware that the polar bear population has increased from 5000 in 1975 to 25000 in 2008 and that recent aerial photos show that there enviroment also hasnt changed since 1975

[StrangerOfMine]

i guess this dumbass is unaware that global warming is melting down the ice? (pretty obvious)

[neulala]

beautiful.

[smellmyanusagain]

i wanna fuck that polar bear up the ass hole and shit on it

[smellmyanusagain]

I hate the environment. I poop and pee on the ground and fuck animals in the ass.

[benone2three]

Amazing advert, gets the point across!

[ivanhorvath]

plastic bears. great...

[jchittwood]

More false advertising from the environmentalist wackos.

[gregkauf1987]

nonon: He only got elected once.

[gregkauf1987]

Excellent advertising. It's beautiful and effective.

[StitchxHare]

NOT to mention that this is a very nice piece of installation art by itself. Alright, I'm finished here.

[StitchxHare]

I mean, jesus fucking christ, where does it even talk about anything specific here. Any liberal, conservative, man, woman, elsewise, and child with a decent education can tell you that fossil fuels and industrial development is polluting our environment.

[StitchxHare]

I don't give three shits about what global warming is or isn't or what the climate change has to do with it. All I care about is the solid fact that we're polluting the earth's natural resources and on our way to destroying the ecosystems and wellbeing of millions of interwoven species of plantlife, fish, bird, reptile, mammal, and insect.

Polar bears are not the prime example of this, but they seem to be a fairly effective emotional representative here.

Try to be educated about our planet.

[playmkr278]

@StitchxHare Watch and read some information not published by the left though Stitch.

[jimistreets]

I have no idea what your point is. I AM proud to have had this great man as my president. The measure of GW's greatness is inversely equal to the level of insane hatred his enemies have for him. All he did was protect the US from further attacks after 9/11 and go after the terrorists that want ALL non-Muslims dead, before they have a chance to strike again...

[southclark]

Great, but too much camera action interfered with the power.

Cut away from the deflating bears too soon.

[jimistreets]

I am VERY encouraged to read some of the cooments here by folks that aren't buying into the hysteria!! Gives me hope for the future of our great country. The American people are wise enough to act upon situations that truly merit action, and smart enough to know when they are being lied to!!!

[ghikij]

Though I don't completely agree that we are being lied to, I want to believe that we are indeed wise enough to act. Politics is also environmentalism's enemy, so I wouldn't automatically label this "hysteria" as political propaganda. It just so happens that fear is the easiest human emotion to agitate. It gets anyone's attention. I just think of this "hysteria" as a wake up call that make me want to know what's really going on, beyond the environmental messages or political pitches.

[ladyjensen1971]

i've got 3 bright, intelligent children, and they will NOT grow up being brainwashed with this crap. they have already been taught the truth, and i will continue to teach them. my children will be thinkers, like myself, and allow the facts to help them draw their own conclusions. facts...hmm...what happened to the good 'ole facts? oh yeah - politics.

[ghikij]

Uhm...where do you get your facts then? I think I want to look it up myself.

[ladyjensen1971]

i can only post 500 characters per post...thus my 3 seperate postings.

al gore is a fool and it will all come out eventually. you are being duped by power and money hungry policticians who are making non-fact based decisions and passing laws that will affect our lives and cost us for years to come.

WAKE UP and get the facts. enough of this foolishness.

[ladyjensen1971]

don't you realize the earth has been in a cooling phase for the last 7.5 years? well..you probably don't, because you won't read that in any liberal rag newspaper or hear about it on MSNBC.

Polar Bear population has, at the very least, doubled, and by some studies, quintupled.

[ladyjensen1971]

oh my gosh.....this is a pathetic attempt at playing on people's emotions and not stating the facts - and "BAM" someone's mind is made up - polar bears are dying and global warming is that cause.

global warming is non-existent. haven't you heard the new catch phrase..."climate change?" please...

[jimistreets]

Well said, M'Lady...

[ladyjensen1971]

same to you =)

The Song is Titled:

A Meaningful Moment Through a Meaning(Less) Process

By: Stars of the Lid

This is what originally led me to this video.

What I liked was the fact that the video seemed to be coordinated at the music.

Stars of the Lid are very good.

[jimistreets]

The ice sheets ARE NOT shrinking. Their computer models are flawed. There are 5 times as many polar bears now than there were 50 years ago. Last but not least, for the last 8 years, the world has been COOLING! Even if it were warming, it is a HUGE leap, and still unproven, to say that mankind caused it. Global warming, PETA, the rain forests, all of these causes, and more, make losers feel their lives have meaning. If they would only devote their time to helping people...I'm dreaming...sorry

[ghikij]

Then, that means it's alright for you to continue emitting pollution just because the ice sheets are not shrinking? If not for saving the planet or the polar bears or whatever else that needs saving, wouldn't you think that cleaning up our act is still a better way to go?

[jimistreets]

I did not say or infer nothing of the sort! OF COURSE we should take good care of the planet! Fact of the matter is, the planet is MUCH better off now than it was when I was a kid in the 60's. What I am against is the exaggerated scare tactics and draconian measures these global chicken little do-gooders wish to impose on the rest of us! Our amazing planet will be around a very long time, that is, if we don't blow it up ourselves! That's a whole other topic...

[apollo1268]

As the previous comment says, polar bears have increased dramatically. This is mainly due to the ban on hunting. Wish they would lift that ban, I'd love to plug one of those man eating beasts between ears with my 458 magnum rifle.

[dukemalibu]

Propaganda BS. They've never been better...

The number of polar bears in the world is four to five times greater than it was 50 years ago, increasing from around 5,000 to an estimated 25,000.

Canadian biologist Dr. Mitchell Taylor, one of the foremost authorities on polar bears, says: "We're seeing an increase in bears that's really unprecedented, and in places where we're seeing a decrease in the population it's from hunting, not from climate change."

[alexaraybernal]

THanks so much for this video! i am doing a project on how polar bearss are enddangered, and this video told me that they dont have snow and the pollution is melting the ice and they are now dying! Thanks.

[iamdannywilde]

The cool partis that according to the person that actually COUNTS them, the polar bear population has INCREASED by THREE THOUSAND PERCENT in the last ten years. This is the BIGGEST SCAM in human history since amway

[john17972]

Polar bears are of no use to humans! If they all die out in their natural habitat it won't bother me one bit. We can keep some in zoos for entertainment.

[YoshYoshXD]

Humans are of no use to polar bears! If they all die out in their natural habitat it won't bother me one bit. We can keep some in zoos for entertainment. Sometimes humans are really stupid

[Vol419]

Nice video, but i think that there is a problem with the message. The subway needs electricity. That electricity may come from a thermoelectric plant, that means that the gases that you avoid in the city will be released in other area. Adding the electricity that is lost in the transmission line the subway is probably more contaminating than a car (just in a global warming view, not for atmospheric pollution in the city).

The bike is fine! get a bike!

[webtang]

Polar Bears are dangerous and should be eliminated!

[emersonushc13]

Cooling, warming, that's not the issue. As long as there are people with money there will be the need to take away their money until everyone on the planet has $5.47 in their pocket!

[krn110188]

:(

Palin sued the Bush administration for adding Polar Bears to the endangered species list because it interfered with her Alaskan oil drilling...

[ContextBeeper]

Mellifluous marriage of message and medium. Tag line is just a cherry on the top of this treat. Good work.

[tschwartz46]

I read that the band on this commercial is Stars of the Lid

[tukk]

Muy bueno.

[francoisdamville]

Great music, who is this ? Bravo to Joshua Allen Harris (the creator), the creative team at Ogilvy dosn't have a lot more to do ;)

[francoisdamville]

Thks a lot :)
