The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) has today filed a complaint to the BBC, accusing Sir David Attenborough of misleading the public about the state of polar bear populations in Canada.
In last night’s wildlife TV series Seven Worlds, One Planet David Attenborough and the BBC once again misled the public in a most egregious way.
In the program, David Attenborough made false claims, used emotionally manipulative language and blatantly misrepresented several natural biological processes and habitat conditions as the effects of human-caused climate change.
Contrary to David Attenborough’s claim, summers are not a time of starvation for polar bears.
The bears shown hunting beluga whales from the shore of Hudson Bay were neither starving nor desperate: they were already fat and healthy after feeding on the young seal in spring.
Contrary to Attenborough’s claim, the behavior shown of polar bears hunting belugas from shore in summer is not extraordinary, is not confined to this area of the Canadian Arctic and has not ‘only been reported in recent years.’
In fact, similar hunting strategies by polar bears have been reported at least since the 1980s.
Rather than a new behavior born of climate-change-induced desperation, this is a relatively rare but not unheard-of hunting strategy by healthy polar bears.
The GWPF has previously pointed out serious misrepresentations about walruses and climate change in Attenborough’s Our Planet series on Netflix.

Should be stripped of his honours
Excuse me Sir Fake-A-Lot but its showing your not being honest so just watch your P’s and Q’s
Like the rest of the enviro-fascists, Attenborough needs to push this fake narrative and fearmongering to keep his job. People tend to believe him and this needs to be called out. We demand an apology for his lies although I don’t see much happening just like happened with Trudeau’s lies and corruption. Oh, I accept responsibility, add a couple of very fake drama tears and the media let these fakes get away yet again. Attenborough and Screwzuki have to stop their BS.
