Over the weekend, a UK guardian ran a story that went viral. It included a soul-crushing video of a starving polar bear that supposedly proves there is a global warming crisis. The video is sad.

It shows an emaciated bear trying to rummage for food. A conservation group recorded this summer in Canada's Arctic region.

Photographer Paul Nicholon said my entire sea legacy team was pushing through their tears and emotions while documenting this dying polar bear. This is what starvation looks like. It is a slow and painful death.

The filmmakers blamed global warming. They said, as temperatures rise and sea ice melts, polar bears can't find their main food source seals.

Now wait, instead of crying, why not help the bear? Of course that crossed my mind, said Nicholon, but he didn't have 400 pounds of steel meat handy. Besides, he says there was no saving this individual bear.

Well, here are the facts. Polar bears are not starving and mass. They're thriving. Another news item two weeks ago documented 200 fat and happy polar bears in the Russian Arctic feasting on a whale carcass.

The worldwide polar bear population is stable. It's even increasing in places like Alaska. Nobody knows why this bear didn't make it. It could have been sick, which happens in nature, but we do know this.

A soul-crushing video blaming global warming is total BS and these people didn't have the courage to save a starving beast.
