ABC’s Good Morning America continued its weekly tribute to environmentalism, Wednesday, in their Extraordinary Earth series with National Geographic leading up to Earth Day.
This week, correspondent T.J. Holmes traveled to Quebec’s Magdalen Islands to cuddle with some baby seals and scare viewers that if they’re not “doing the right thing” by following the climate change agenda, these adorable animals will die out.
“I wish I could tell you this is just a cute story. This is also a climate change story and how it’s threatening to wipe them out,” Holmes warned.
While interacting with the seals, the journalist spoke with some climate change research scientists in the area about how the thinning and melting ice from global warming was affecting the Harp seal pup population.
“To be clear, this species, they cannot survive without ice to be born on,” Holmes noted, as he and the scientists directly blamed man-made climate change:
HOLMES: Over the last 30 years, warmer temperatures have led to less winter ice. Peter Galbraith, a research scientist for Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans estimates that in just 75 years, these animals will no longer have any solid ice.
PETER GALBRAITH: There’s no escaping it. I mean, it’s completely tied to global warming.
They lectured viewers that their decisions were making an impact on this species’ population:
GALBRAITH: There is no stopping this as long as the world keeps pumping its CO2 into the atmosphere. Global warming will continue, and winter air temperatures will get warmer and the ice will get weaker.
HOLMES: Weaker ice, less ice, one day, no ice for them? Our world is changing, and as it does, their world is disappearing.
REBECCA ALDWORTH, HUMANE SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL: Everybody has an impact on this planet. Every one of us, and I think if we all felt we were part of this bigger ecosystem, that we might actually look at what we do every day. So we tell them the story, and then possibly these stories make an impact on some of their decision making and their behaviors.
But the propagandizing became more heavy-handed as Holmes spoke with his GMA journalists.
Michael Strahan lamented how their children might not get to see these harp seals in person because of climate change, he asked Holmes to share what he learned from this experience.
Holmes gushed about the importance of recycling:
I put the cardboard in this bin. The glass in this bin, and the cans, and recycling because I’m supposed to, but to see how decisions we’re making directly impact and is taking away a world from an animal and to see that.
I understood or see climate change in a way maybe a lot of people don’t get to experience. We do the right thing because we’re supposed to. But to see it this way, strikes a different chord.

First polar bears. Now cute and cuddly baby harp seals. Both are doing just fine. Except it is easier to film the baby seals. They won’t eat you.
Seals are in no danger whatsoever; they are thriving and eat more more fish than anything else. They are cute but have a voracious appetite. In the Arctic, they are lunch for Polar bears
Stupid GMA its always been m nothing but a bunch of lying leftists scum suckers Polar Bears Eat little seals their predator after all they don’t eat salads ABC/GMA their height of their fake news program
Usual MSM tactic, find the cutest animal and paint some far fetched story about their demise because we are driving SUVs and not recycling.
The Guilt Trip syndrome make us feel guilty because we drive a SUV and eat meat were not riding bicycles to work and were not going vegan GMA like the rest of the M.S.Media bared faced liars all the way all part of the Globalists plans for America and its Citizens to all be part of the Global Community and of course there’s 60 MINUTES as well one whole hour of Lies
There is not a single species anywhere in the world whose existence depends purely upon the presence of sea ice. Ice provides no nourishment and prolonged exposure leads to increasingly reduced bodily functions, especially among mammals. Ice can be a great tool and can make certain species lazy, like polar bears, who find prowling for ringed seals easier by using sea ice as a platform rathern than diving for food.
The scolding tone of GMA coaxes me into action and here it is. I am doing a local relocation of my residence this weekend. I have already agreed to pre-pay the entire tank of gas in my rental truck, so I am now motivated to burn the entire 25 gallons driving all around town, rather than just the amount I need to traverse the 12-miles I am moving my stuff. The vegetation of the world can thank me. That’s how I play “green.”
You’re playing nice. 25 gallons would make a bunch of Molotov cocktails.
