The bear is obviously pissed-off about Worldwide Warming and he knows who is to blame.

At least, it wasn't an army of snowshoe hares.

There would have been no photos or survivors if there was.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Maybe the bear was angry because the man offered him a Pepsi instead of a Coke?

Reminds me of a METAR observation taken some years ago.

A lot of weather observing sites are remote shacks set up in the middle of the Airfield, or middle of no where for that matter.  After you encode all of the pertinent information (winds, clouds, temps, etc...) you have the remarks section, where you put all the little extra stuff.

Well this guy out in Alaska once got trapped in his shack by an irate polar bear.  So he took his observation, and in the remarks section put down "trapped by bear send help".  These observations go out worldwide...   :lmao:
