Only the gullible still buying ‘polar bear died of climate change’ nonsense

The media promote this ‘polar bear who died of climate change’ rubbish because it’s good for business but there is no evidence to support it. The Daily Mail todayis running a piece that encourages the self-serving, sensationalist claim made by a photographer trying to sell his book.
