polar bear swimming through the melting ice

Save the polar bears from global warming

Target:

Sponsored by: 

Polar bears are dying because sea ice is melting from global warming.  Scientists think that 2/3 of all polar bears; including all in Alaska will be gone by 2050 due to losing 100% of their habitat.  Global warming is causing the melting of sea ice and a decline in habitat and food, forcing the polar bears to swim farther distances than normal.  The higher temperature is also causing the polar bears to overheat because of their layers of thick fur.



"The loss of Arctic sea ice in a warming climate could drive them to the brink of extinction in less than four decades," said Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne. 



 Just recently the polar bears were added to the endangered species list. Unfortunately, the government is trying to take away some rights entitled by this list.  Many disagree that the polar bears are on this list, because of their present record population.  Even though this is true, scientists have noticed that 25% of all Polar Bear populations are already declining in number. 



There is a 90% chance that humans are causing global warming.  It is up to people to fix the problem, before the polar bears have to pay the price.

We the undersigned think that the polar bears should have all the rights that the endangered species entitles them.  We don't think that it is fair that the polar bears are having some of their rights taken away.  Global warming is the fault of the humans, yet the polar bears are the ones that are having to pay the price.  We appretiate your looking into this issue.

Because of global warming there will no longer be polar bears on the northpole in 2030 ! This is a fact and no longer possible to prevent. The only thing we urgently can do is prevent them from being totaly extinct everywhere else too.

90%?! More like 100%. Humans are causing all of this in the world. We are greedy and all we care about is us. Well if we keep doing the things we're doing it's not only going to be animals on the endangered species list. At some point we are going to destroy everything that allows us to survive. We need to stop Palin and Salazar and stand up for the polar bears. We complain about animals being overpopulating but the real overpopulation is our species.

Polar bears are very cute and i hope don't become extinct. People who say that they so don't care and don't wanna be part of it they should become a polar bear and live their life and experience what they are going through !!!

People who don't care, should be thrown in the Artci Sea and eaten by the Marine Life there. What little life there is. We Will All Distribute This Page to Big Media and Start Letting those “Useless Talking Heads on TV News” know what’s really worth reporting to the world… Useless they are because who knows if they even know about this? But if they did, they should Report it as we will also through our blogs.. … I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted.
