Truth About Stranded Polar Bears Image

A segment from Australia's Media Watch program from on ABC highlighting the origins behind the image of polar bears 'stranded' on melting ice. The image has been used by many media organisations to push the 'threat' of global warming and most notably in Al Gore's film, The Inconvenient Truth.

I am glad that someone is exposing the breathless manipulations of our information for political purposes.

You should watch the Media Watch podcast... It is to do with Australian media but that doesn't matter; my wife is new in Australia from Germany and it is her favourite show here. It's funny and it exposes their BS.

fuck that, global warming is visible all around you. it's just up to you what you make of it. don't be a selfish bitch and think solely of money. it's bastards like you that make the world such a horrific and careless place. even if we do make an effort to be more appreciative, are we wrong? at least we are passionate about what we care for, unlike you whiny bitches that care only for money. there are serious problems with the world today, you just care for something that's not about you. shit.

Couldn't find a video clip mentioning global warming eh? Keep trying as the prize is still up for grabs. Now, I'm a little upset with you... You've made many assumptions here about me that couldn't be further from the truth. You should calm the fuck down and look at the facts... Bitch !!!

Gore isn't stupid -- he's GREEDY. When "Cap and Trade" passes (to make the eco-nuts happy), that company selling "energy credits" he owns will quickly make him a multi-billionaire.

doesnt make you wonder what else is fake?

This just shows that the media has a behind the scene agenda and they are willing to try, however badly, to fool the public. Here's a thought, let's put the network owners on some ice platforms in chummed equatorial waters in the summer and see nature take its course....

Does anyone have a link to the slideshow where Gore actually used this picture? It wasn't in An Inconvenient Truth.

[struth1969]

@Voctron It wasn't so much as a claim as it was a challenge for people to open their fucking ears... And eyes.

[Voctron]

@struth1969 Could you please verify that claim? Just links to authoritative sources will do. Cheers.

anyone who beleives in global warming are zombies and too afraid to make a stand, Global warming is a scam nothing more

[keyanage]

they dont teach us enough about science in schools in Australia for anyone to care. Too bad we need programs like media watch to go through scientific debate.

YOU MORON! This photo wasn't current but the rest of them are ! After examining all the evidence the supreme court has declared Global warming as real. Rupert Murdochs bullshit about Iraq has already murdered 4000 Americans , maimed 60,000 and given 300,0000 PTSD.
