Are polar bears dying?
Hi guys! This
is my first blog. So I would like to thank everybody whoever is reading this.
Okay! Let’s get back to the topic. The Arctic Circle provides shelter to polar
bears but now it’s all melting. The cause of this is global warming. Global
warming is caused due to the extreme amount of carbon dioxide trapped by the
atmosphere. The trapped carbon dioxide produces heat making the ice caps and
glaciers melt at a fast pace. When there is no shelter the poor animals may or
may not survive the harsh environment such as blizzards and avalanches.
Did you
know? In 1950, there were only 5000 polar bears and in 2005, the population
increased to 20000 - 25000 polar bears. When I read this fact I thought the
population would increase more than 50000 polar bears but now there are only 22000
– 31000 polar bears. Scientists predict that the polar bears might get wiped
out of the planet by the end of this century. To prevent this from happening we
all need to reduce the usage of vehicles and other activities or objects that
produces carbon dioxide.
