Oh wait. - Bricktopgr, on 08/30/2008, -13/+241That's a hilarious picture! The bear clearly is in the wake of the helicopter that's taking the pictures turbulence...these are not normal waves...
If you want to help the poor guy start by not harassing him when fighting for his life! - sonycam, on 08/30/2008, -7/+233Looks like a job for Super Phelps!
- bonlebon, on 08/30/2008, -8/+128Swing those arms buddy remember all the juicy people on the shore.
- 2h3px, on 08/30/2008, -9/+115Psh, those things? There, its clearly just waving us over, saying "hey guys, drill here drill here!!!". They're not endangered they're just telling us we're doin' our job"
- killerknives, on 08/30/2008, -7/+99where the ***** are they I'm buying a boat
- talonstriker, on 08/30/2008, -14/+98They can stay in my fridge for a night.
- GreenModernKits, on 08/30/2008, -11/+93Heartbreaking! Make sure to click through & read the article.
- zephyear, on 08/30/2008, -12/+92SARAH PALIN DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WHITE BEARS.
- garg, on 08/30/2008, -46/+122Global warming is happening. We're part of the global ecosystem. When species start dying off at this rate, then we're soon to follow.
- jgome008, on 08/30/2008, -14/+86I bet she'd gain a new perspective if she was dropped off 400 miles at sea. Maybe Jesus would save her.
- ObamaWins08, on 08/30/2008, -8/+79If we were drowning in the Arctic, would it be the bear's fault?
- Protonz, on 08/30/2008, -2/+72There was recently a story on digg about a polar bear making a very long swim and finally making it to shore. Then humans killed him.
Stupid humans. - inactive, on 08/30/2008, -4/+70:(
- SteveMTyler, on 08/30/2008, -14/+78Pretty cool photo.
I enjoy back country skiing, sailing, and biking. So my opinon on environmental matters is not exactly unbiased. I think it is foolish to think humans, in all their capacity, have had no impact on the environment. Deniers get around this by saying it is foolish to believe that the theory of global warming because human actions aren't completely responsible for global warming. But they are just playing with words, specifically the narrow, elementary, definition of 'theory' and by saying 'completely'.
The worst kind of deniers refuse to believe that the world is on a warming trend. Some people enjoy being kooks for the attention, so there is nothing really to say there. - skippy562, on 08/30/2008, -2/+63YAY we saved the bear!! NOW RUN!!!!ahhhh
- emryss, on 08/31/2008, -4/+56just save the damned thing instead of watching it drown
- MikeyMoose, on 01/30/2009, -1/+53No kidding - how about the WWF take some of that donation money they get and buy a decent ***** zoom lens so they can take photos of doomed bears and not aggravate the situation with rotor wash!
- peestandingup, on 08/30/2008, -2/+51Humans have pretty much become the scum of the Earth. Im off to marry a Llama.
- SeaFour, on 08/31/2008, -0/+47You spelled "intelligence" wrong.
- sadsadrobot, on 08/30/2008, -19/+66Question is: If we were drowning in the Arctic would a bear save us?
- SeaFour, on 08/31/2008, -1/+47I wouldn't say it's hilarious by any stretch. But you're right, rotor-wash certainly isn't helping their situation.
- bigpuffy, on 08/30/2008, -1/+37blowin air into his face from a helicopter 10 feet away from him ain't helpin either.
- Dylson, on 08/30/2008, -2/+36Dun be so selfish. He is my gosh too.
- bdbr, on 08/31/2008, -6/+37Now, now, Sarah Palin probably wants that bear to make land as much as anyone. After all, you can't hunt bears when they're 400 miles out to sea.
- garg, on 08/30/2008, -7/+37Humans can go extinct in a month if bees disappear. At the rate corporations are destroying nature, life has no chance to adapt. Humans can't adapt that fast either. We aren't just trying to save chicken weasels, we're trying to save our own asses because we're going to follow soon after the other creatures die. Or are you going to personally pollinate all our vegetation?
Why are polar bears important? They control the population of other creatures. If the fish start over populating then plankton and other organisms start getting under populated. When that happens, the fish populations will crash. You keep that up and soon it's our turn. - inactive, on 08/30/2008, -16/+46oh my gosh.
- LucerinRed, on 08/31/2008, -0/+29I beg to differ.
~Captain of the USS Bear Hunter - diespectra, on 08/31/2008, -0/+27Llama *****.
- dip42, on 08/30/2008, -0/+23Yea they swim miles to get food... but not 400.. and I don't see ANYTHING regularly swimming 400 miles to get food, because you know what.. They die BEFORE they even get CLOSE to that...
If a dolphin can swim up to around 100 miles a day, imagine how a polar bear, that isn't as fast and built for water travel would do...
But its OK, because it has NOTHING to do with the ice melting... Big surprise - MercurySoup, on 08/30/2008, -18/+41We can only reduce it by so much. This picture is sad, but global warming is part of the earth's natural cycle.
- kevin52094, on 08/30/2008, -18/+41yet most republicans still deny that this IS a problem.
- soccaparker, on 08/31/2008, -0/+22Did anyone else find it ironic that the bears were found by oil surveyors?
- JonTheGoose, on 08/30/2008, -2/+23www.poolnoodlesforpolarbears.org
For just noodles a day, you can make a difference. - protodon, on 08/31/2008, -1/+21Tina! Come get some ham!
- ousthouse, on 08/30/2008, -14/+33Animals didn't die before republicans were in power.
- feanix, on 08/31/2008, -0/+18The bear would certainly bring our long, slow deaths to a quick, if violent, end. :D
- SteveMTyler, on 08/30/2008, -2/+20It's not conclusive because conservative think tank press releases get more media time than scientific inferences from models.
- beahmad, on 08/30/2008, -3/+20even after we have definitive evidence of a polar bear in water!!
- nosecohn, on 08/31/2008, -0/+17Depends how many millions of gallons of oil the bear is burning every day.
- diggproof, on 08/30/2008, -2/+19So I'll burn your house down. Hope you can adapt.
Then I'll kidnap you and make you lose your job. Hope you can adapt. - stubarwick, on 08/30/2008, -14/+31I'm making a commitment and I don't care if it gets dugg down... just wanted to say it.
I've had enough of this... I'm going to change things...
I'm going to work my ass off till I know I've made a difference... I'm going to change things for the better and I'm going to help others change as well... I won't stand idly by... and it starts now - inactive, on 08/30/2008, -9/+26Someone should send a boat/net/tranqs to help?
- KMartSheriff, on 08/30/2008, -6/+22Have no idea why you're getting dugg down, you're completely right.
- anonymiau, on 08/31/2008, -7/+23No no no, head in the sand, head in the sand! Global warming is a myth. Nothing humans do has any effect on the environment. We can just continue to reproduce exponentially and spray everything around us with chemicals. You see, humans don't follow normal laws of physics. We are action with no reaction. We can do anything without any consequences. Keep filling up those SUV's cause the atmosphere can take infinite amounts of CO2. So what if this planet turns into Venus? Humans will evolve, as they say.....apparently into balrogs...
- swicken, on 08/30/2008, -0/+17Ah yes, the Alaskan Poil Bear
- Dylson, on 08/30/2008, -1/+16>=(
- 2h3px, on 08/30/2008, -2/+17How 'bout ***** thinking about politics, and maybe, you know, realizing the two are intertwined, captain apathy. Or, you know we could just build giant floating oil rigs with alternitive energy nets that generate electricity with every passing polar bear? Now that's political comprimise!
- Pinkshisno, on 08/31/2008, -1/+15MICHAEL!!!
- SeaFour, on 08/31/2008, -0/+13As far as 100 miles ≠ around 400 miles.
