“Disinfo.com linked to a ScienceDaily story about Antarctica once being a tropical paradise, and warning that it may become one again, thanks to global warming.
“Discounting for a moment the rather unusual fact that a story which confirms that the earth’s coldest place was once tropical before SUVs is used to warn of the so-called ‘dangers’ of global warming, choosing to illustrate that story with a picture of an animal that lives literally on the other side of the world is more than a little embarrassing for a website which promises to tell you the truth about the world under the slogan ‘Everything you know is wrong’. Indeed.”

Apparently someone at disinfo.com decided a polar bear was somewhat out of place and replaced the fuzzy bear with a picture of ice and a glacier.
http://hauntingthelibrary.wordpress.com/ has the original, w/bear.
