Media Matters rips CBS News for echoing — ‘climate denier Marc Morano’s website’! – Network accused of walking away from climate alarmism
Media Matters: In 2025, CBS aired 54 minutes of climate coverage in January, making it the network’s peak month. This year, the network aired only one climate segment in January — a headline report on the evening news lasting approximately 20 seconds on the surprising health of polar bears, despite the loss of sea ice, in the Norwegian Arctic. …
The new study was also shared on climate denier Marc Morano’s site. With a seeming nod to the climate skeptic community, Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil concluded: “Experts say the bears are still in trouble long term, but hey, the experts have been wrong before.”
Mother Jones: ‘Something Unexpected Is Happening With Norway’s Polar Bears’ – ‘The effects of climate change, at least locally, may be making them healthier’ – Researcher: ‘I was surprised’
Something Unexpected Is Happening With Norway’s Polar Bears By BENJI JONES Excerpt: Polar bears became the poster child for the peril of climate change for obvious reasons: They hunt seals from the ice, and as fossil fuels warm the planet, the ice where these bears live is melting. For more than three decades, scientists have been warning that climate […]

Shock News: Polar Bears Are Thriving – ‘The fatter a bear is the better it is’ – New Study: ‘There was no support for the predicted negative effect of warmer weather & habitat loss’ – Published in journal Nature Scientific Reports
https://dailysceptic.org/2026/01/30/shock-news-polar-bears-are-thriving/ BY SALLUST Some polar bears, it seems, are doing well out climate change and reduced ice levels in the Arctic, so a study in Nature Scientific Reports says. Although ‘body condition index’ (BCI) was observed declining for the first five years of the 1995-2019 study, it didn’t stay that way: We assessed how intrinsic (female reproductive state, […]
Flip-Flop: Climate makes polar bears skinny & fat! NYT in 2026: ‘Some Polar Bears Are Getting Fatter Even as Sea Ice Shrinks’ – Researchers ‘surprised that the polar bears were actually gaining weight’ – But in 2017 ‘starving’ & ‘skinny’ polar bears were due to ‘climate change’
CBS News – Jan 29, 2026: ‘Fat, healthy polar bears surprise researchers’ – ‘Surprised to see the bears thriving as climate change shrinks the sea ice cover in the region.’ National Geographic: ‘These polar bears are getting fatter as sea ice melts. What’s going on?’ – The finding offers a small window of hope for […]
BEAR-MAGEDDON: 7 Outlets Scaremonger Polar Bears ‘Rewriting’ DNA to Fight Climate Change – Morano: ‘When current reality fails to alarm…they make scarier & scarier (unfounded) predictions of the future’
Excerpt: Climate Depot founder Marc Morano blasted the media outlets perpetuating this nonsense in comments to MRC Business. “Scientists and scientific data have known for decades that ‘climate change’ was not threatening polar bears in the Arctic. The number of polar bears in the Arctic has increased dramatically in recent decades, particularly since a hunting ban was imposed.” Specifically, said Morano, “The polar bear population exploded from an estimated 5,000 in the 1960s to 30,000 or more today.” …
But this is a load of bunk, as Morano joked to MRC. “It is safe to say that polar bears are disappearing, but only from Al Gore’s books and movies!” He joked that “In Gore’s 2006 film, he made the polar bear a poster child for global warming, but fast forward to his 2017 film and book sequel, and Gore did not even mention them.” Scientists have testified before Congress that “polar bears have survived several historic episodes of much warmer temperatures over the last 10,000 years, and they have adapted,” Morano noted. In essence, polar bear adaptation to a changing climate isn’t even a new thing.
Morano argued that what the new study does, if anything, is reveal “some insight into one of the many ways these bears have adapted.” …
But the seemingly nuttier bits of climate change tomfoolery continuously oozing out of the media eco-sphere shouldn’t be expected to fade away, Morano said. “When current reality fails to alarm, the climate activists will continue to make scarier and scarier (unfounded) predictions of the future.”

Changes to polar bear DNA could help them adapt to global warming, study finds
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/dec/12/changes-to-polar-bear-dna-could-help-them-adapt-to-global-heating-study-finds By Helena Horton Changes in polar bear DNA that could help the animals adapt to warmer climates have been detected by researchers, in a study thought to be the first time a statistically significant link has been found between rising temperatures and changing DNA in a wild mammal species. Climate breakdown is threatening the […]
Watch: John Stossel on Climate Change Myths Part 1: Polar Bears, Arctic Ice, and Food Shortages
“Our changing climate is already making it more difficult to produce food,” said President Obama in 2017. The opposite is true. Since Obama said that, world food output increased dramatically. We disprove Obama’s claim and other climate change myths:

The US needs to stop using climate model predictions in ESA species assessments There are a lot of things wrong with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) – including that constitutionally, the power to regulate fish and wildlife lies with the states, not the federal government – but a worrying trend has developed where outputs of predictive climate change […]
