0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.679
<v Speaker 1>Folks, you remember that sad video the starving polar bear.

0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>National Geographic posted at last December with a caption this

0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>is what climate change looks like. It became their most

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>viewed web video ever. The drive bys picked up the story,

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:17.479
<v Speaker 1>calling it gut wrenching and soul crushing, blaming Republicans for

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>global warming killing this poor polar bear. The video was

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 1>ultimately shared with two and a half billion people. But

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>now the photographer, Christina Mittermeyer, says never mind. In the

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>upcoming issue of National Geographic, she says that her team

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>lost control of the narrative because people missed the nuances.

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>What nuances well, that she had no idea why the

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:44.319
<v Speaker 1>polar bear was on its last legs. In an editor's note,

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>National Geographic admits there's no way to know for certain

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>why this bear was on the verge of death. Sounds familiar.

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I found a similar quote. Nobody knows why

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>this bear didn't make it. It It could have been sick,

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>which happens in nature. But we do know this. A

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>soul crushing video blaming global warming is total b s

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>who said that me the day that video was released.

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>It didn't take me seven months to figure it out,

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>which is why I tell you do not doubt me,

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>just don't h
