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.
