Watching that movie is a good start.

Answer 4

go to worldwildlife.org and sign up for their newsletter and look around the website and they will give you opportunities to email or call officials to convince them to make new laws to help protect polar bears.

Answer 5

Well, thank goodness there are no polar bears in Antarctica.

Answer 6

Yeah those paw wittle polar bears. They are becoming extinct going from only 5000 in the 1970s to over 25,000 in the year 2007. That must be tree-hugger mathmatics.

Maybe we can get ALGORE to fly all 25,000 of them in his private fossil fuel burning jet to Anartica.

Answer 7

by putting some polar bears in the antarctic. last time i checked there were only polar bears in the arctic.

Answer 8

Gas prices goes up each time the refineries shut production down.  Declaring the polar bear an "endangered species" even though their population has grown gives the oil companies the opportunity to shut down their refineries there permanently to "protect the polar bear."  This is a scam that hurts everyone (everyone relies on gas for delivery of goods to stores and everyone uses petroleum based products, e.g., plastic).

"Supply significantly exceeds demand year-round. This results in very poor refinery margins, and very poor refinery financial results. Significant events need to occur to assist in reducing supplies and/or increasing the demand for gasoline.”

Answer 9

If Iron Man can't save them, they're screwed pretty much.

Answer 10

Yep...

I just got back from the north pole, and all the Emperor Penguins are gone too...

dooby dooby doo

Answer 11

We need to save the common keyhole limpet and the abalone first!

Answer 12

I place the polar bear in the same category as the giant panda. A animal that is so "specialized" that if it's environment is changed it can't adapt. It is doomed.

Answer 13

Yes - The Antarctic Polar Bear is on the verge of being extinct.  

Have you ever considered taking a job to count the number of Antarctic Polar Bears that are still living?

Answer 14

Polar bears live in the arctic not Antarctica.  But yes ice melting from global warming is threatening their existence and that is sad.

Answer 15

Educate yourself and others.

Answer 16

Gore says a scientific study shows that polar bears are being killed swimming long distances to find ice that has melted away because of “global warming.” They are not. The study, by Monnett & Gleason (2005), mentioned just four dead bears. They had died in an exceptional storm, with high winds and waves in the Beaufort Sea. The amount of sea ice in the Beaufort Sea has grown over the past 30 years. A report for the World Wide Fund for Nature shows that polar bears, which are warm-blooded, have grown in numbers where temperature has increased, and have become fewer where temperature has fallen. Polar bears evolved from brown bears 200,000 years ago, and survived the last interglacial period, when global temperature was 5 degrees Celsius warmer than the present and there was probably no Arctic ice-cap at all. The real threat to polar bears is not “global warming” but hunting. In 1940, there were just 5,000 polar bears worldwide. Now that hunting is controlled, there are 25,000.

Ms. Kreider says sea-ice “was the lowest ever measured for minimum extent in 2007.” She does not say that the measurements, which are done by satellite, go back only 29 years. She does not say that the North-West Passage, a good proxy for Arctic sea-ice extent, was open to shipping in 1945, or that Amundsen passed through in a sailing vessel in 1903. http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/monckt...

There are 25000 polar bears today compared to 5000 in 1940.

Al Gore's Computer-Generated Lies

Ninety percent of the ice on the planet is in Antarctica, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/warnings/al... where it has been thickening. http://www.usatoday.com/news/science/col... So how have hoaxers like Al Gore been able to convince so many gullible tools that we're all doomed because the ice is melting? One highly successful tactic is using documentary footage consisting of computer-generated scenes from cheesy science fiction movies.

NewsBusters transcribes an ABC News discussion of a scene of calving ice shelves from Gore's schlockumentary A Convenient Lie:

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppa...

    Sam Champion (ABC News): Wait a minute, that shot looks just like the one in the opening credits of "The Day After Tomorrow."

    Karen Goulekas (Visual Effects Supervisor): Yeah, that's, that's our shot. That's a fully computer generated shot. There's nothing real in there. […]

    Champion: Is it wrong for a documentary to use a fabricated Hollywood shot to make a point, even if there's science behind it? Well, we tried to ask Al Gore and the movie studio, but neither responded to our calls.

Answer 17

polar bears live in the Arctic (north pole), penguins live in Antarctica (south).  

The ice reflects the suns rays, the problem is when water is on the surface of the ice.  This water is then heated by the energy of the sun which promotes more melting and pooling of water thus less reflection.  So to prevent the melting of ice we need to reflect more sunlight by reducing the pooling water on top of the ice.  How do we do that?  well I'm not sure.
