Polar Bears Grow Wings and Fly

OK, they don't. But news reports that global warming is causing them to drown are just as untrue:

On a trip this summer "We saw a couple of polar bears in the sea east of Svalbard -- one of them looked to be dead and the other one looked to be exhausted," said Julian Dowdeswell, head of the Scott Polar Research Institute in England.

He said that the bears had apparently been stranded at sea by melting ice. The bears generally live around the fringes of the ice where they find it easiest to hunt seals.
Come on guys, think about it. Polar Bears hunt and swim on the edge of the ice. That's where the seals are.(num!) Are these guys saying that the ice is melting so fast that when a bear jumps in, eviscerates his seal, and turns around to swim back, that the ice has melted and he has nowhere to go? Is the ice melting faster than a polar bear can swim? Alright then, quit being bozos.
