More lies from the BBC:

Two polar bears killed a worker at a remote Arctic radar station in Canada’s northern Nunavut territory, prompting an investigation into the rare fatal attack.

The employee, who has not been named, was working for Nasittuq Corporation – a logistics company which operates radar defence sites on behalf of the Canadian government.

Other workers responded to the scene and killed one of the bears, the company said in a statement.

There are about 17,000 polar bears living in the country – making up around two-thirds of the global population of the species, according to the Canadian government.

The species is in decline, and scientists attribute it to the loss of sea ice caused by global warming – leading to shrinking of their hunting and breeding grounds..

Polar bears are not in decline. From a population estimated at about 12,000 bears in the late 1960s, numbers have almost tripled, to just over 32,000 in 2023.

Even the WWF now admit that most of the 19 populations have returned to healthy numbers:

So once again, we see that the BBC is making up its news to suit an agenda.

Another complaint is being filed, and no doubt it will be at the top of next year’s BBC Tall Tales Report!!
