WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh June 25th 2018

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Over the weekend, The Uka Guardian ran a story that

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>went viral. It included a soul crushing video of a

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>starving polar bear that supposedly proves there is a global

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>warming crisis. The video is sad. It shows an emaciated

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>bear trying to rummage for food. A conservation group recorded

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>this summer in Canada's Arctic region. Photographer Paul Nicolin said,

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>my entire Sea Legacy team was pushing through their tears

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>and emotions while documenting this dying polar bear. This is

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>what starvation looks like. It is a slow and painful death.

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.480
<v Speaker 1>The filmmakers blame global warming, they said, as temperatures rise

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.319
<v Speaker 1>and sea i smelts, polar bears can't find their main

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>food source seals. Now wait, instead of crying, why not

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>help the bear? Of course that crossed my mind, said Nicolin,

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>But he didn't have four hundred pounds of seal meat handy. Besides,

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>he says, there was no saving this individual bear. Well

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>here the facts. Polar bears are not starving in mass thriving.

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Another news item two weeks ago documented two hundred fat

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>and happy polar bears in the Russian Arctic feasting on

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a whale carcass. The worldwide polar bear population is stable.

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>It's even increasing in places like Alaska. Nobody knows why

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>this bear didn't make it. It could have been sick,

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.399
<v Speaker 1>which happens in nature, but we do know this. A

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>soul crushing video blaming global warming is total bs and

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>these people didn't have the courage to save a starving beast.

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:34.200
