TIMES BEHIND THE TIMES

The New York Times is still hawking bogus global warming claims, reports Bob Parks:

There was the now-familiar photo that brought tears to the eyes of young children around the world. The picture of two polar bears that would soon be dead because the block of ice they were clinging to for very life, was drifting away from the melting mass, too far for them to swim back to.

But one would think this should be a dead-and-buried issue by now. The photo was exposed, as was the context in which it was taken; something the most-important New York Times (one would think) should know ...

Soon they’ll be running this:

UPDATE. “Why do they stare?”

  1. This might be faked. I’m fairly sure that Polar Bears can’t hold paint brushes.

  2. It’s a never ending source of hilarity for me that the left continues to believe their own lies long after they have been exposed as falsifications.

    I think you should add a plastic turkey to the pic… just for good measure.

  3. Looks like someone has given Puce access to a paintbrush.

  4. Penguin, it wasn’t the paint brushes that made me suspect a fake, it was the language. Everybody knows polar bears don’t speak English, how imperialistic!

  5. What does the actual context have to do with anything?  It’s not the nature of the evidence but the seriousness of the charge.

    When has the truth ever mattered to the left?

  6. Also, polar bears can spell better than that.

  7. Poor polar bears. If only they had stuck with that swimming program at the YMCA.

  8. It might be the polar bears’ lucky year, then. And speaking of lucky bears: here’s one who went a bridge too far. (Via Conservative Grapevine.)

  9. #8 “But what will happens is still up in the air. Since [La Nina’s] last appearance in 2000, the planet’s climate has changed quite a bit. Global warming has progressed and could alter its effects.”—CTV.CA

    Yeah, pretty soon it could be as hot as, say, 1934.

  12. Ha! retread!! I knew that.  They’re Canadian so they speak Canadese, eh?

  13. #11 I dunno Kae, we might need some nifty invention called “are condishaning”? Or perhaps “acclimatisation”? Global Warming believers are idiots.

  14. Why there are no Japanese eskimos.

  15. C’mon, frollicking, she looked like the bear’s ex-wife.

  16. If the Glowball Warm-mongers really cared about those poor, starving bears, they’d volunteer to swim out to the melting ice bergs and feed themselves to the bears.

    If the REALLY cared, they’d swim out toward the berg and pile up on top of each other until they built a causeway with their bodies for the bears to safely travel back to dry ground.
