So this article comes up in my Google RSS feed for “Global Warming” titled “Nine polar bears at risk of drowning in global warming meltdown” and included this picture:

 

 

You know what my first reaction to this picture was? That poor polar bear is going to drown. Why is it going to drown? Because the helicopter that was carrying the photographer is causing such a disturbance in the water the poor bear is going to barely be able to swim. See the waves around the polar bear and how its squinting? Yea, that’s caused by a helicopter that is in hover. Compare it with this picture (upper left corner)

 

 

It’s not global warming that’s going to kill this bear, it’s the media.

 

Oh, wait, don’t cry. Please don’t cry, media. You really shouldn’t worry to much about that because the good news is the polar bear population on a whole has doubled in the past four decades.

 

See? One polar bear, and even nine polar bears, are nothing really to worry about. Just consider this an example of Darwin’s ’survival of the fittest’ theory.
