Remember that wonderful picture of stranded polar bears on an ice floe that were used by folks like soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore to demonstrate how dire the man-made global warming issue is?
Well, ABC television in Australia, on a show called “Media Watch,” recently debunked the entire issue (video available here, h/t NB member dscott).
It turns out — as NewBuster Jake Gontesky reported on March 20 — the picture was taken in August, “when every year the fringes of the Arctic ice cap melt regardless of the wider effects of global warming.”
The photographer, Australian marine biology student Amanda Byrd, didn’t think the bears were in any jeopardy:
They did not appear to be in danger…I did not see the bears get on the ice, and I did not see them get off. I cannot say either way if they were stranded or not.
Denis Simard of Environment Canada agreed:
You have to keep in mind that the bears are not in danger at all. This is a perfect picture for climate change…you have the impression they are in the middle of the ocean and they are going to die…But they were not that far from the coast, and it was possible for them to swim…They are still alive and having fun.
How delicious. Think this kind of broadcast would ever happen in America? Continued

We need more Co2..The plants are dying..this hoax picture is a small part of a larger hoax…the global warming lie. That lie is part of a giant hoax intended to destroy the middle class of America..their money,stolen by fees and taxation, funds such hoaxes as politicians being public servants and scientific results being valid and repeatable and not determined by funding. I believe I saw this same picture on the unbiased and objective evening news YESTERDAY.
PENTAGON / NASA: GLOBAL WARMING / GLOBAL COOLING:
CLIMATE CHANGE – STAGES:
1) GLOBAL WARMING
- The ice age will begin when the ocean’s currents would not transport anymore the warm water to the Polar Regions. But before that, the increasing temperatures will melt the glaciers and this will destroy the salinity.
2) GLOBAL COOLING
- THE PENTAGON WARNS CLIMATE CHANGE WILL BRING GLOBAL CATASTROPHE:
Now the Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us
· Secret report warns of rioting and nuclear war
· Britain will be ‘Siberian’ in less than 20 years
· Threat to the world is greater than terrorism
