st time, I showed you a brief but important video about the type of peaceful protest needed to prevent the loss of more polar ice and eventual polar bear extinction. Lest my writings seem alarmist, let us take a sober examination of the problem. If you didn’t have a chance to watch it, the video points to a failure on the part of the government of the United States to list the polar bear as an endangered species.
Why is that a problem? The initial answer may seem obvious. Polar bears are endangered. However, there’s another reason of equal importance. Without global cooperation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we cannot fix the problem. By extension, since polar bears live in northern Canada as well as Alaska, the Canadian government has an equal responsibility to act.
Sadly, our friends to the north are correct in one element of their justification for deferring action. Canadians produce much less pollution than their Yankee neighbors so they should not be compelled to act until the government of the United States does.
What an awful situation!
Polar bears are nomadic and the consequences of polar ice melting in northern Canada will decimate their habitat just as fast as losses in Alaska will.
We need to collaborate and soon.
Otherwise, soon polar bears in the wild will suffer extinction and only will exist as pictured here, in zoological parks.
