This drawback could potentially change the overall warming effect, and therefore the title seems to exaggerate.”

National Geographic video of starving polar bear should have clarified uncertain link to climate change

“The article contains valid information on the devastating consequences of climate change on polar bears. The only problem as I see it is that the article presents (implicitly) that the polar bear in the video is dying as a consequence of climate change and from not finding enough food due to lack of sea ice…”
