Some scientists have questioned the program's correlation between climate change and the walruses falling, arguing that walruses were falling off cliffs before sea ice started receding.
Research and environmental critics have come out to say the Netflix narrative over the true nature of the scene is misleading
You, the consumer, can sign a pledge to consume responsibly once redirected to World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) website. Once you sign it, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the first fundraising email reaches your inbox. Which itself is hugely problematic given the recent bombshell BuzzFeed News investigation into how the WWF backs wildlife rangers that have engaged in serious human rights violations. The other option is adding your “voice to call for urgent action” on a cool-looking spinny globe on the website that also sends your email to WWF.

the plight of the walruses is regarded by the producers as the most powerful story they found during four years of filming. “It was really traumatic.
Some critics accuse the producers of emotional manipulation and twisting facts ... and that includes some zoologists and prominent environmentalists, who claim the walrus scene is out of context.
