Polar Bear Kills Alaskan Mother & Baby Source: CFACT

hen Summer Myomick stepped out into a snowstorm with her oneyear-old son Clyde, she had no idea that a savage predator lay just outside. The Associated Press (AP) reports that a polar bear killed the 24-year-old mother and her baby in the town of Wales, Alaska, as she stepped out of a school on her way to a health

May they rest in peace. Polar bears’ pretty white coats make them perfect propaganda poster children for the global warming-Left, who count on comfortable city-dwellers to view them through a Disneyesque, anthropomorphic lens.

The tragic attack in Alaska, and the all-too-preventable attack in Berlin, remind us that a polar bear’s striking white coat is not a fashion statement, but a means to a predatory end. Polar bears may be cute (from a safe distance), but they are nothing like cuddly. Inhabiting the frozen North places polar bears always on the lookout to kill anything that will yield a sustaining meal of protein and fat, people included. The AP couldn’t help but use Summer Myomick’s tragic death to push the warming narrative, writing, “as climate change reduces the amount of Arctic ice, forcing the bears to spend more time on land, the number of encounters between people and bears is on the rise, researchers say.” Conveniently left out of the AP story is the fact that the global polar bear population has soared from as few as 5,000 in the mid-
