From the department of photoshopped bipolar behavior comes this hilarious photograph that accompanies a headline of doom from the leftist cesspool known as the Daily Kos.
It just doesn’t get any better than this from the Kos kids. Thank you for making life entertaining with this epic failure.
Tom Nelson spotted it and wrote in a tweet:
In article about the Arctic,
@dailykos puts a photoshopped penguin on the “Ursus Bogus” iceberg, attribution NCAR! https://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/05/12/new-bear-species-discovered-ursus-
It’s the same fake ice floe that caught out Science magazine a few years ago with the polar bear photoshopped in:
You can get one with a Penguin (or three) from the photo library, as seen below:
If you like the background it is also available with one penguin:
But you just have to remember one very important detail before using it:
Penguins don’t live at the North Pole or the Arctic!
It just dawned on me that this green photo shopped culture is no different from the supermarket tabloids of the previous generation. It’s all about selling feelings not facts or insight. Educational level does not explain it either, especially with lowered standards of degrees and degree programs.
I used to be a photoshop artist. In the early days it was considered appropriate to make deliberate faults in ‘realistic’ photo edits so that it was clear that it is not reality. Now it seems that you can just pretend and lie if the message is ‘worthy’.
IMHO its all about selling ad space, or click-bait, or whatever the current epithet. The “product” is whatever serves to entice the viewer to become lured. That aspect of tabloid journalism has never changed. Now you don’t have to buy it at the checkout line in the supermarket.
“Never underestimate the crassness of the public.”
“There is a sucker born every minute.”
Both uttered by the quintessential huckster P.T. Barnum
And I think I see a zebra swimming in the distance with a face full of angst.
red and black stripes from the sun-burn ?
whoops.. the burning would be from CO2 back-radiation, NEVER the sun !!
I sure hope all these “climate refugees” have been properly vetted.
I think that’s Topper. (for you vintage television fans)
I suspect you will have to wait a while for the avalanche of response to the Ghostess with the Mostess.
Just how surreal that photo is escapes most folks who’ve never seen anything more than an iced-over river in their lives. those tiny ripples just don’t happen on the ocean. those are swells from a good distance around something large.
The implication of the blurb and photo is that it was taken very recently. Exercise for the reader: How high above the horizon does the sun rise, north of the Arctic Circle, on 28 November?
Some places, not at all. Depends on latitude.
LOL so you’re saying that penguin is 300 feet tall??? Damn, that IS a crisis!!!
But that means that the ice floe he’s riding on is ENORMOUS!!! :)\
Forget the penguin!
How big is that polar bear!!
Not to mention there is no sunshine unless you get down to around 70 degrees latitude, and even then the sun is on the horizon.
We’re overdue for a geomagnetic reversal in our lifetime.
Then we’ll see just how much penguins like living at the North Pole.
I remember talking to a young friend who actually believed that when the poles swapped, the Earth was going to flip 180 degrees in a couple of hours.
Haha… yeah we have the same joke in Australia (only in our version it’s Irishmen, not Poles)
I think everyone is obviously missing the true story: ALL the ice melted in the Antarctic, so the poor penguins had to migrate to the Arctic. And there was not ice there, either.
Or…they don’t actually teach geography in college anymore. Hard to find the time with all the Gender Issues courses I guess.
6 year old ice. bargain !!
Oh good. Now they will have a renewed sense of purpose.
ROTFLMAO.
The sad part is there are many published papers also trying to create a fabricated illusion of biological catastrophes from CO2.
…and White House science advisers
Poor little fella probably just floated over from a nearby public service notice about ice loss at the South Pole.
The thing that bothers me about these photoshopped pix is that both polar bears and penguins can SWIM. Neither of them are trapped on an ice floe unless the want to be. Is there an orca in the vicinity, eyeing his next meal? Otherwise, neither is hampered in the least by global warming or retreating ice. Sheesh!
Whaaat? They swim? Who knew????
Seriously????
BTW. At my local Garden Centre store (why are they always Garden Centres) they have a ‘Santa theme’, with sleigh etc. The etc is a polar bear coming out of the ‘ice’ alongside a penguin. The question is, do they (those who design these things) know, or don’t they care?
They’re selling cute not reality.
The clowns at Daily Kos do not know where Penguins live! They never get out! And definitely know nothing about science.
And yet they still get to vote 🙁
I hope this works 🙂
It worked. 😎
Is he feeding the south-polar bears?
No, much worse than that. They can be anywhere!
They are used to turn things up side down so why not the poles? 😉
The man made left wing global warming scam is based on junk science, misleading information and outright lies.
Is that penguin supposed to be *stranded* on that little floe? Maybe the northern penguin went extinct because it forgot how to swim.
…oops, sorry, Mumbles.
why penguins are extinct in the Arctic – they brought it on themselves!
&f=1
The penguins are bigger than the polar bear.
So is it:
1) A north pole GIANT penguin
or
2) A miniature south pole polar bear.
Maybe the DK reporter found a new species. They do a lot of field research for their writing. (sarcasm)

Hopefully this worked showing kittens on the ice.
That does not seem to work so let me try this:

Well I cannot seem to get the photo here. It is on my photo stream at Flickr where I am user whaas987. Performing a search on whaas987 should get you to my photo stream. If anyone can help me get the photo to show here, please let me know.
So what is the actual temperature? Still below freezing would be my guess.
On Penguins on the North Pole and the dailykos. A Limerick.
The dailykos website: Fake news.
All misinformation it spews.
In this picture brought forth:
There’s no Penguin up north.
Tis climate change picture abuse. https://lenbilen.com/2016/11/29/on-penguins-on-the-north-pole-and-the-dailykos-a-limerick/
I know I can be a slow at times but I don’t see how this bit of “fake news” helped lead to Hillary’s defeat?
I thought “fake news” only helped Trump.
Or was that news also fake?
