I never never watch the Al Gore's movie so I know, but I definitely remember that picture for sure!

I wouldn't doubt it... People fabricate "evidence" all the time to support their cause. The environmentalists will scream that the oil companies are fabricating all their data to debunk the global warming hysteria.
...But the environmentalists won't even bat an eye about fabricating evidence to support their various causes...
Case in point: When the biologists or whoever it was planted lynx hair in the forests of the pacific northwest. When it was shown that they deliberately falsified their data so they could "protect" forests for a (nonexistant) lynx population, the government still tried to get the lynx listed on the "endangered species" list...
All groups will present data to back their side of an argument...and they'll cherry pick what information they present - up to and including falsified information.

It's worse than that. Al Gore's movie contains a computer animation of a polar bear swimming out to a tiny slabs of ice, which the polar bear breaks to pieces merely by touching them. Anyone who's ever tried to clear ice from a frozen sidewalk or driveway realizes ice isn't anywhere near fragile.
The picture you describe is a real picture, different from the computer animation. However, it shows polar bears in their natural habitat, doing what they've been doing forever. But Al Gore grossly mischaracterized it as showing the polar bears in extreme peril, saying, "They're in trouble, got nowhere else to go." So, rather than manipulating the photo itself, more propaganda value was obtained by manipulating the description of the photo.

No. Algores polar bears were outright fiction, cartoons like the South Park cartoons, or The Simpson's.
The photo of Katrina was Photoshoped to make that look bigger than it was in real life.
Global warming has been so over exaggerated that it is no longer possible to determine what is true or what is fiction.
It's time to stop funding global warming studies.

You see al gwhore is a truth challenged lib wack job that wants to bring America down a few pegs. There are many of this self loathing sort that would rather blame humanity in order to rape cash from the public at large.

No. That is simply a lie by the so-called skeptics. You have to understad, they don't have any evidence to refute global warming. Nor can they--you can't "refute" a proven fact. So they jsut make stuff up to try to smear people.
Besides, that picture, striking as it is, is hardly unique. Biologists and other researchers have documented this several times.

I'm not sure if he did or didn't, but the cover of Vanity Fair has Leonardo DiCaprio with Knut the polar bear on a sheet of ice. So I'm not really sure if it is real or not.

I doubt it, but the polar bears in the picture weren't in any trouble. They were riding small icebergs in summertime like they always do.
