You couldn’t make this stuff up even if you tried.

‘It’s kind of the first time that we believe we’ve seen a mammal system such as the polar bear, where temperature has been the lead cause, and environmental stress at increased temperature, is impacting their DNA, their genome in real time,’ Alice Godden, the lead author of the study, told ABC News.

Researchers say the discovery of these genetic changes offers a glimmer of hope for the bears’ survival, as two-thirds of the world’s population could perish by 2050.

In other words, ABC reveals that polar bears are experiencing rapid genetic changes resulting from climate stress. However, what the network omits that their doing so is part of evolution. The polar bears in question are adapting to their environment and this process occurs regardless whether the climate changes or not. If ABC admitted this, then their panic porn collapses.
