i don’t think ppl know how to do their own research. we are in the age of information and we still need pbs and al gore to tell us the facts? look up polar bear stats.
look up the north pole temps (you might be surprised.. it’s not sunny and 70 up there). look up “south” pole ice.. look up global cooling of the 70’s.. look up the % of co2 humans put into the atmosphere vs natural co2 .. imo this is just another money making catch phrase. save the whales
save the baby seals, spotted owl, panda, mountain gorillas … redwoods .. whatever the list goes on. global warming didn’t really stick so they changed it to climate change … how conveniently vague.
wake up people you have been worker bees for the “non profits” long enough.

This program is an unproven hypothesis. There is no proof of grizzly bears evolving into polar bears. No proof of any other creature evolving either. Otherwise I thought the work was beautiful and informative.

[...] to any creature. But now that very environment is in flux. And so is the polar bear’s fate. Find out more on NATURE: Arctic Bears – Sunday July 12th at 8PM on WVPT. [...]

“Grizzly bears changed into [became] Polar bears? Hmmm. Why are there still some Grizzly bears around? They just didn’t want to change?” – Laura

Wow. So just because you were born, all your cousins have to have died out? Evolution is not a linear path, it’s a branching family tree.

“Don’t you people get it? You’re being used by corporations and mega non-for-profits…” – Dave

Al Gore didn’t make any of this up, he’s just a parrot – repeating what scientists have been saying for years. I wish people would not allow their own political opinions of a person to cloud the way they see the world.

Much respect for the way Nature portrayed the facts – ice is receding because the earth is warming. Period.

Now are you going to help clean up your small portion of the ecosystem, or whine about your wild megacorp conspiracy theories and a soon-to-be-forgotten politician?

Ursus maritimus. The maritime bear. Don’t you people get it? You’re being used by corporations and mega non-for-profits to buy into global warming propaganda! Does anyone REALLY think Al Gore (who started this whole drowning bear side-effect of global warming) is an environmentalist!? Look at how he and other corporate types live! Wake up people! See the light! Climate change is real, but there’s no scientific evidence that it is man-made, only propaganda from people selling things.

Does it take energy to be that uninformed and still breathe? Evolution doesn’t simply round up all the grizzlys and make them polar bears. Migration, allopatric speciation, and genetic drift within isolated populations all can cause a segment of a species to adapt to a new environment that the other bears, who have not encountered that environment, would not be pressured into.
All of this information is available to high school biology students.

Ignorance … of a stunning degree.

the polar bears and grisslys are mating and makeing a new bear called a growl or somthing similar to that word… the polar bears are trying to adapt to the new world changing! its evolution.

Beautiful and sad tale, wonderfully shot and told. I am amazed at the plight of our “Natural Alarm Ringers” effort to survive. They need our help, and in king we shall help ourselves. No more running around yelling the “sky is falling”. WE must get involved, demand the protection of our wildlife, as when they go, the hope that something “else” will replace it, or evolve is not good, as our Government in the past has had little true regard for the preservation of wildlife, or of their terrain. If they can make a buck off of it, maybe then.

We should not have to watch any animal become extinct. It is worth or fighting to stop global warming, and fighting to save wildlife, for ourselves and posterity. In the end, we will only be saving ourselves, our enviorment, and that of our children and theirs. High hopes for the new Administration. Let us pray! Ellen
