Polar Bear Endangered Species!
They are so cute, cuddly and completely vulnerable. Polar bears grab the admiration as well as attention of people the globe over for their fluffy white furs as well as huggable size. They gather honor from animal enthusiasts for their hunting ability and survival techniques in one of the harshest environments on Earth. However regardless of their confusing appeal these giants are actually in danger of being wiped off Planet entirely.
The Bear Basics
Polar bears are a huge species that make their homes on the frozen Arctic marine. The bears will definitely spend the majority of their lives on the ice. Males are able to increase up to ten feet in period as well as weigh in at over 1,300 pounds! The bears are carnivores, meaning they include largely on a diet made up of the meat of other Arctic animals. At current there are actually predicted to be actually just 20 to 50 thousands polar bears left in the wild. They are actually on the Endangered Species List.
When polar bears are actually on land they are more likely to come face-to-face by having a predator, folks. Often people hunt polar bears as prizes and other people kill polar bears while defending themselves. Individuals more influence polar bears when companies build infrastructure in their natural environment, thus adjusting it irrevocably.
Interference in the form of government controls to diminish mortal impact has actually been actually highlighted as a concern in America as well as other nations. In addition, individual businesses and interest collections go on to lobby and function by having the government to defend this valuable animal in its natural environment. Aside from government intervention, further groundwork concerning international warming is actually vital so that the temperature change are able to be stopped or turned around. There are actually agencies that are raising cash for this extremely objective. An additional manner communities are assisting the polar bear is actually to make use of experienced bear patrol agents to keep the land bound polar bears from individuals as well as to make sure that the bears are actually not competing too firmly with the individuals for the food sources on land.
Practical knowledge is actually power. Emerge as additional enlightened regarding this necessary subject by seeing Polar Bears at World Wild Life.
Is global warming built to pull in as many people as it can? They’ve thrown in polar bears extinction to get the over zealous animal lovers! They’ve linked it to deforestation to they got tree huggers They linked it to industrialism so you got the anti development bunch The wheathermen are in! Some how they got the medias attention(don’t know how) IF anyone can add to this list go ahead but try to answer the main question if you can!

Posted on January 25th, 2012 at 1:39 am | QuoteYes.. Big Algore and the rest of the self-serving profiteering Pied Pipers of the movement have a lot of ignorant followers.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 7:39 am | QuoteI am a weather forecaster and meteorologist and many of us do not subscribe to global warming as depicted by Al Gore. A look at both sides is alarming in the fringe elements. The IPCC has it’s own agenda, while others use a current snow storm as in indication that global warming is wrong. Truth be told, there is a long term warming going on while cooling overt the past 6-8 years. But please remember, weather is cyclical and today’s trend mean very little in the long term.
Posted on January 27th, 2012 at 7:28 pm | QuoteInteresting list of course the first three would also be part of actual climate change. As it relates to Polar bears if you think this is a con how are they faking the shrinking of the Arctic Not sure what a wheathermen is! The media like a good story, and while there are bad journalists there are also many good journalists who do research this would explain why denier ‘rubbish science’ doesn’t make much headway in the mainstream media. This is of course one of the major holes in denier myths because if GW was a hoax it would be the biggest story since 9/11 what real journalist could resist releasing it, it would make who ever did break it as famous as the guys who broke Watergate, yet know one has, that speaks for itself.

Posted on January 31st, 2012 at 5:48 pm | QuoteIt’s a good thing this scam didn’t happen during the late sixties, with all that hippy flower power and reefer induced love-in stuff going on. I remember the era well, and can only imagine how many of them would have made their way north to save the polar bears only to be eaten by them.
Posted on February 2nd, 2012 at 8:28 pm | QuoteThe Polar bear is going extict, whould you save it’s species? The White race is only, about 20% of the population worldwide, and decreasing. The White race is on the abyss of extinction, would you save it, as well?
Posted on February 5th, 2012 at 7:36 am | Quote‘extinct’ is the word I believe you want to use…and the white population is capable of handling their own issues.

Posted on February 11th, 2012 at 1:26 am | QuoteNot only are they cute, they are also big. This makes them perfect for attracting human sympathy.
Posted on February 14th, 2012 at 7:17 am | QuoteThe Polar Bear is a magnificent creature. I don’t know what we can do other than halt poaching and preserve their habitats if possible. Hopefully, there are those who do know what to do to save them, and will.
Posted on February 17th, 2012 at 7:07 pm | QuoteIt’s survival of the fittest. As humans, we should respect them and their territory and do all that’s in our power to try to preserve their snow IF we were responsible for it melting. Still, I believe that they should either adapt to life on land or continue drowning. If they decided to take their chances on the ice floes, then they deserve to die.
Posted on February 21st, 2012 at 12:56 pm | QuoteI hope so, I think they are adorable
Posted on February 25th, 2012 at 12:36 pm | Quotei think alot of people are viewing it that way thats why the baby polar bear in germany is so important, but clearly that alone wont help as they need ice in winter and summer to live on to hunt, and without it they will die. female polar bears need a certain level of weight and nutrients in order to reproduce and without that they cant have cubs. over the past decade females have gotten lighter and instead of 3 cubs at once its 1 cub. we need to do some serious changing of our way of life to reduce the earths climate from melting or implementing a big scientifice machine to help reduce it or they will die.
Posted on February 29th, 2012 at 6:16 pm | QuoteHeck no! They are scary garbage eating monsters who would be better off dead. They eat all of the cute little baby seals.Plus they are very smelly!!!!
Posted on March 5th, 2012 at 5:56 am | QuoteDo you agree with the Interior Department decision to list polar bears as a threatened species? The Interior Department declared the polar bear a threatened species, saying it must be protected because of the decline in Arctic sea ice from global warming. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne cited dramatic declines in sea ice over the last three decades and projections of continued losses. These declines, he told a news conference, mean the polar bear is a species likely to be in danger of extinction in the near future. Kempthorne cited as support for his decision conclusions by the department’s scientists that sea ice loss will likely result in two-thirds of the polar bears disappearing by mid-century. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/washington/AP-Polar-Bear.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin Here is an interview with Dr. Nick Lunn of the Canadian Wildlife Service – one of a handful of scientists studying the polar bear. http://www.globalwarmingisreal.com/blog/2008/03/10/scientist-on-western-hudson-bay-polar-bear-population-i-consider-myself-a-historian/ Do you agree?
Posted on March 9th, 2012 at 11:56 pm | QuoteI believe they know better than I, and especially Jello, do. (Btw, Jello only feels warm b/c he’s BURNING IN HE-L-L)
Posted on March 20th, 2012 at 4:26 am | QuoteIt seems odd to me–the polar bear population is doing fine, but maybe, sometime down the road, polar bears might be threatened. Personally, I doubt that it really comes down to a want to protect the polar bear, but rather it is the backdoor to forcing major CO2 restrictions. Edit: Well it is a good thing that Kempthorne put his foot down: “That is why I am taking administrative and regulatory action to make certain the ESA isn?t abused to make global warming policies.?
Posted on March 25th, 2012 at 4:25 pm | QuotePolar Bears in Antarctica?!?!?! Is this a good Idea? http://www.polarbearconservancy.org/Site/Programs.html The Polar Bear Conservancy’s plan is to relocate 3,000 polar bears from the Northern Arctic, where global climate change is melting native habitat, to the stable ice sheets of Antarctica. The Polar Bear Conservancy will begin relocation of the first Arctic polar bears to Antarctica on Earth Day, April 22, 2008. The relocation will be the initial step in a planned five-year program to migrate 3,000 polar bears from the Northern Arctic to the southern continent of Antarctica. Scientists say polar bears face near-certain extinction by 2020 as global climate change accelerates melting of their habitat in the Northern Arctic. Antarctica, in contrast, can be a viable home for the bears. Though experiencing melting of its own, the southernmost continent still has sufficient ice coverage to support the polar bear indefinitely in its traditional climate, and it has abundant food stocks, including penguins, seals, dolphins, and migratory Hmm… apparently this was an April Fool’s joke.
Posted on March 31st, 2012 at 10:35 am | QuoteI don?t think so. You?re likely to interrupt the balance of nature in that area. It?s been done many times before. Even if the scientists think they have everything worked out it?s impossible to tell with nature. Next thing you?ll know is the polar bears have some type of bacteria in the hair that?s fatal to penguins. That?s only a lame example but there are so many possibilities that can?t be known ahead of time when introducing a new animal to a new environment.
Posted on April 6th, 2012 at 10:35 am | QuoteAre polar bears affected by the North Pacific garbage patch? im doing a planet earth paper and narrowed it down to polar bears. any ideas if the garbage patch affects them? what other HUMAN ACTIONS affect them as well? what type of effects can the extinction of polar bears have on human beings?
Posted on April 12th, 2012 at 4:15 pm | QuoteThe Great Pacific Garbage Patch is too far south to affect polar bears itself. However, it is a sign that human-caused pollution has significant long-term effects in places far removed from civilization. The decrease in the Arctic ice pack caused by increased temperatures is having a much more severe effect on polar bears. The polar bear is typically an ambush predator, feeding on seals and other marine life through gaps in the ice. Without the ice, polar bears have a much more difficult time finding food and may become extinct. As with any species, the effects of a polar bear extinction are all but impossible to calculate in advance because of the complex interrelations between different parts of the global ecosystem. Since polar bears tend to live where humans don’t, the direct effects on humans are likely to be minor, at least in a physical sense. It would be unfortunate if it took the extinction of the polar bear to make more people aware of the impact our actions have on the environment.
