In yet another failure of basic journalism, dozens of media outlets around the world have been parroting the claim that a video of a polar bear hunting, catching, and eating a reindeer is evidence of climate change. It isn’t, and the claims don’t stand up to even the simplest probing of scientific reasoning.
For example, the India Times trumpeted this headline:
Climate Crisis May Be Pushing Polar Bears To Drown Reindeer For Food And This Rare Footage Is Proof
In another ludicrous example, published on Agence’ France-Presse, Philip Andrew Churm writes:
Rare footage of a polar bear chasing a reindeer into the water and killing it could be another stark indication of climate change.
