    Male polar bears eat cubs. This phenomenon has been studied since the 1980s. Use of misleading photos to spread possibly important messages is not a good idea. news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/02/160223…

    Justin Hofman took a photo of a southern elephant seal. Of course the photoshopped version is now being circulated. Instagram source: instagram.com/p/B6qLb0_nzhW/

    Sodom and Gomorrah: the etymology of both names is uncertain, and scholars disagree about them. As far as I know, these skeletons are from 'Mycenaean Sparta' excavation. This is not the supposed location of ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’ rug.nl/news/2013/10/1…

    This has gone viral. The claim is not true. 1) Cars: the damage was caused by a fire at a nearby construction site in USA (2018) 2) Melting traffic lights: this happened in Kuwait due to a burning car. I’ll post the source links separately.

    This has been ongoing for some time. Bots are apparently done with USA and are leaving the country with their scared families.

    Forest fire. The smoke particles from the fires allow sunlight's longer wavelength colors like red and orange to get through while blocking the shorter wavelengths of yellow, blue and green

    The child in that photo was not a victim of an air strike in Gaza. The photograph was taken in Moscow, 2018. Source: instagram.com/p/BrxNac6H4dX/ Based on the recent photos on Instagram, the child is doing well. Please stop posting this photograph.

    Image on the left dates back to 2004. The other one is from a YouTube video published in 2013. The Amazon in Brazil is on fire. Status update:
