Not only is this affecting us human but it�s affecting the animals badly, especially the polar bears up north. The Arctic sea ice dwindled to its second lowest level and they are still losing ice at a rate of 10% per decade; an increase from 5 years ago. The North side is still heading toward an ice cover that is going to melt completely in the summertime in the Arctic.

Arctic ice helps control and normalizes the climate in many other parts of the world. So when the less ice there is, the more dramatic the impact will be. Huge sheets of ice help reflect solar radiation, thus keeping our planet cool. When that ice melts, open ocean water will absorb the heat instead, warming things up.

These polar bears are dependent on the Arctic sea ice for all of their essential behaviors, and as the ice melts and global warming transforms the Arctic, polar bears are starving, drowning, and now those bears are even resorting to cannibalism because they don't have access to their usual food sources.

It a sad thing to learn that so much have changed, from a normal polar bear diet to cannibalism, can u ever imagine that? Eating another of your own kind? Never have I thought that global warming would affect them so badly till it showed through their habit and a change in their diet. Its scary to think of wht will happen in near future if all this global warming effect isnt gonna slow down.

When Global Warming is too much for them to handle







Soon polar bears will be like this one, huggin the last of available ice

I once did a presentation on the affects of global warming on polar bears. They are in a quite sad position =(

poor bears. and other animals. i don't know what kind of evolution humans are pushing the animal kingdom to have... eerie. imagine the animals are having evolution earlier than expected. and will humans have evolution too like in heroes??

Yea , Global Warming poses a danger . All those factories and all are discharging co2 co and so2 into the atm , leading to Greenhouse effect and global warming... The bears are so sad...
