Blatant Reality

I don’t know what it is about Telegraph but the photos they pick to show how much trouble polar bears are in just aren’t working. Last time, they had a photo of a polar bear basically drowning in the downdraft of a helicopter. This time, it gets even better. Take a look at this beauty:

Besides the fact that this bear probably killed the photographer a second after he took this, its placement in this story is just wrong. See for yourself

Polar bears and other rare species are in danger of dying out, scientists fear, as latest figures show the Artic sea ice is at record lows.

 

Scientists from the World Wildlife Fund, who are recording the ice cover over the North Pole, said less ice is predicted in the Arctic this year than in any other.

Umm… Is it just me or do those look like trees in the background? I really don’t think trees grow on ice so this picture seems to contradict the whole ‘polar bears need ice’ argument. Wouldn’t it have been more fitting to have one of those classic pictures of polar bears clinging to a lone iceberg? I mean, this guy looks just fine and as I stated about, it seems to have already adapted to hunting on land.
