1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: Folks, you remember that sad video the starving polar bear.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: National Geographic posted at last December with a caption this

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: is what climate change looks like. It became their most

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: viewed web video ever. The drive bys picked up the story,

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: calling it gut wrenching and soul crushing, blaming Republicans for

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: global warming killing this poor polar bear. The video was

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: ultimately shared with two and a half billion people. But

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: now the photographer, Christina Mittermeyer, says never mind. In the

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: upcoming issue of National Geographic, she says that her team

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: lost control of the narrative because people missed the nuances.

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: What nuances well, that she had no idea why the

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 1: polar bear was on its last legs. In an editor's note,

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: National Geographic admits there's no way to know for certain

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: why this bear was on the verge of death. Sounds familiar.

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: In fact, I found a similar quote. Nobody knows why

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: this bear didn't make it. It It could have been sick,

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: which happens in nature. But we do know this. A

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: soul crushing video blaming global warming is total b s

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: who said that me the day that video was released.

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: It didn't take me seven months to figure it out,

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: which is why I tell you do not doubt me,

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: just don't h
