Global warming, melting polar ice caps and its impact on these Polar bears...







See how lovely and unique these polar bears are? we all have the right to live on in this world. These polar bears basically lives on top of frozen ice shelves...though they know how to swim, but they need the ice too....drowning polar bears is an commonly heard issue lately as the polar ice caps melts happens at an increasingly fast pace, beyond what scientist's model predicts...well, why it melts? it all comes back to global warming...and mankind is the main cause of it.....
these lovely and innocent creatures will face its extinction when the day comes when the whole ice sheet at the artic is melted off....due to drownage...in the vast expand of sea water....well, maybe its because i am caught by the video in 'An Inconvenient truth' by Al Gore, where there is a footage on these bears...it might looks funny...but that is the fact that is happening...
Recent issue of Time magazine shows that ships may pass through the Artic sea, which is currently frozen with ice even during spring by 2030 if the melting continue as current speed...what will happen then? though it cut short journeys, it rises ocean levels, floods will be more rampant and low lying nations such as the Bandgladesh and Holland will be submerged...Yet, the race for natural resources is still happening there..and the newest place, when these ice sheets melts, they found new sources of natural gas and are start pumping them, at the new plant, in Alaska...imagine a burning gas tower in the middle of vast ice?? is this ridiculous? as we are all in the midst of extreme climate changes, rising ocean levels, new diseases...all which comes, results from global warming....and yet they are exploring new oil fields? waging more war in the Middle east?
If this continue and we don play our part, in help reducing global warming, by reducing carbon emission, these wonderful polar bears will only be seen in museums, and also in the list of extinct animals, all caused by human, mankind!
