The polar bears made me cry
This is shocking, but I only recently found out exactly how global warming affects polar bears. I’ve known for a long time that global warming is bad but I’ve never actively tried to find out the specifics. Ironically, it was through reading a children’s book which talked about the destruction humans’ cause to wildlife and nature. (Can’t remember the title at the top of my head, will check).
Polar bears go to the mainland in the winter to bear their young and hibernate. In the summer, they will come out and search for food. Because of the rising global temperatures, ice takes longer to form. As such, the bears can’t go out to search for food and thus, they starve. And those who do try to go out, drown, because the ice floes are too far between one another. *This is what I understood from the book. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong or inaccurate* Read more here.
The polar bears are just one example of how destructive human actions can be. You can find all sorts of other destructions happening due to our actions.
I really believe that we all need to take action now to try to reverse the effects of our past and current behavior. Not for ourselves but for our children and future generations. We can’t be that selfish to leave them with a planet in which everything is sparse and with temperatures rising every year.
Very soon, there won’t be any Earth left to live in.
