New footage reveals Netflix FAKED death of walruses: Climate change did not cause the deaths, polar bears did
11/24/2020 / By Ramon Tomey
New footage revealed that polar bears, not climate change, caused the deaths of walruses shown in the 2019 Netflix documentary Our Planet. The British lobby group Global Warming Policy Forum (GWPF) released a video Nov. 19 showing polar bears driving walruses to their deaths. The walruses bounced off sharp rocks as they fell to their deaths – which Russian photographer Yevgeny Basov captured back in September 2017.
Netflix used Basov’s footage in its 2019 documentary Our Planet, with narrator David Attenborough remarking that the summer sea ice melting due to climate change triggered the walruses’ deaths. However, the same footage was used in the later British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) documentary Seven Worlds, One Planet – this time showing the polar bears driving the walruses to the edge of the cliff. A statement by the GWPF called the walrus deaths in the Netflix film “damning evidence†that the documentary constructed “a false narrative … to elicit an emotional response from the public.â€
