"'We stood there crying—filming with tears rolling down our cheeks."

It’s worth mentioning that the article was edited last June to clarify that there was no specific evidence that that particular bear’s death was because of climate change. Here’s a recent article that explained the update and answered some questions that’s worth reading as they explained how they lost control of the narrative and what they hoped to accomplish with the vidoe: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/maga ... ear-photo/ It’s always interesting to hear the stories behind viral videos, especially ones that were extrapolated outside the photographer’s original intent.
