i'm curious to know how this picture has anything to do with global warming. so a polar bear climbed up on a floating piece of ice and someone took a pic, whats the big deal? you guys do know polar bears can swim right? according to [url deleted] "Polar bears are strong swimmers; they swim across bays or wide leads without hesitation. They can swim for several hours at a time over long distances. They've been tracked swimming continuously for 100 km (62 mi.)".
