My grandchildren more than likely will not be able to see polar bears due to global warming?

Question

Is anyone as concerned about what is happening to our earth and what are you doing about it?

Answer 1

Last time I checked, polar bears were an exhibit at my local zoo.  That's the only place my grand kids would see them anyway.  Let's just ignore the fact polar bear populations are exploded...

Answer 2

Actually I think my grandchildren will be about as likely to see a polar bear as I am.  There is very little chance that I will ever visit somewhere where I could see polar bears in the wild but I have seen them in zoos.  Polar bears will still exist in zoos in the future as they are pretty easy to breed (comparatively).

Answer 3

I suggest you read the story of chicken little.

Answer 4

Unfortuntately scientists believe that may be the case.

However conservationalists are getting more aware of such plights and are doing something about it.

Answer 5

I support my local zoo which keeps polar bears in captivity all year round.  They seem pretty healthy and it rarely snows here, so I don't see the need to worry about global warming hysteria.

Answer 6

The polar bears around the lower Hudson bay have been increasing in population for the last 30 yrs. there hasn't been any study to show that the populations have decreased anywhere. All of the talk has been about what could happen.

Answer 7

We have the choice. We can solve GW so we and our future generations have a great home earth or keep up killing it. We must have a pollution surcharge and a consumptive tax and do away with the income tax except for the rich real rich like over $250,000 per year per person.

Answer 8

Polar Bears are bears, hence the name.  Bears are masters of survival.  They'll eat just about anything, including your grandchildren.  They are not going to die out, no matter what a certain former minor official in the Clinton administration has to say on the matter.

Answer 9

And I'm sure the polar bears will be happy to not see your grandchildren.  I hear they are pretty content to fish and sleep and would rather not have humans traipsing around trying to keep them from dying.

Of course, they do love the global warming kool-aid that they keep rummaging from the alarmists hanging out up there.  Maybe you can share some of yours.

Answer 10

To bad. That's life. Take them to the Zoo. I'm wasting as much energy as possible. I want to grow corn year round at the North Pole.

Answer 11

F.U. LMurray. I won't pay. No way. It's people like you that are destroying this country.

Answer 12

I hate to inform you, but you really must stop watching the mian stream media. The entire "disappearing polar bears" was a lie fabricated by the media. It originally started with the picture of the 2 bears on ice (which were in no danger, and on a normal berg for summer time). The polar bears have lived through much warmer climates than today. Your grand children will be able to see all the polar bears they want.

Answer 13

They may actually see them from much closer up .

If they survive and manage to escape to America.

lol

Answer 14

Dont worry. We still have trolls and unicorns.

Answer 15

good news--we have zoos that are conscience of our animals

bad news--zoos may be the only place to see them

it is sad. but it might be too late

Answer 16

Don't worry, I am 31 years old and have never seen a polar bear ever in my life. I hear they're pretty vicious.

Answer 17

The Polar Bears will be just fine.  They have survived natural global warming and cooling many many times over thousands of years.  Don't let the likes of Al Gore and his huckster movie fool you.  He's in it for $$$ and EGO.......PERIOD!!!

Answer 18

Here's a quote from Michael Crichton's novel JURASSIC PARK:

"You think man can destroy the planet? What intoxicating vanity! Let me tell you about our planet. Earth is four-and-a-half-billion-years-old. There's been life on it for nearly that long, 3.8 billion years. Bacteria first; later the first multicellular life, then the first complex creatures in the sea, on the land. Then finally the great sweeping ages of animals, the amphibians, the dinosaurs, at last the mammals, each one enduring millions on millions of years, great dynasties of creatures rising, flourishing, dying away -- all this against a background of continuous and violent upheaval. Mountain ranges thrust up, eroded away, cometary impacts, volcano eruptions, oceans rising and falling, whole continents moving, an endless, constant, violent change, colliding, buckling to make mountains over millions of years. Earth has survived everything in its time.

It will certainly survive us. If all the nuclear weapons in the world went off at once and all the plants, all the animals died and the earth was sizzling hot for a hundred thousand years, life would survive, somewhere: under the soil, frozen in arctic ice. Sooner or later, when the planet was no longer inhospitable, life would spread again. The evolutionary process would begin again. Might take a few billion years for life to regain its present variety. Of course, it would be very different from what it is now, but the earth would survive our folly, only we would not. If the ozone layer gets thinner, ultraviolet radiation sears earth, so what? Ultraviolet radiation is good for life. It's powerful energy. It promotes mutation, change. Many forms of life will thrive with more UV radiation. Many others will die out. You think this is the first time that's happened? Think about oxygen. Necessary for life now, but oxygen is actually a metabolic poison, a corrosive glass, like fluorine.

When oxygen was first produced as a waste product by certain plant cells some three billion years ago, it created a crisis for all other life on earth. Those plants were polluting the environment, exhaling a lethal gas. Earth eventually had an atmosphere incompatible with life. Nevertheless, life on earth took care of itself. In the thinking of the human being a hundred years is a long time. Hundred years ago we didn't have cars, airplanes, computers or vaccines. It was a whole different world, but to the earth, a hundred years is nothing. A million years is nothing. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven't got the humility to try. We've been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we're gone tomorrow, the earth will not miss us."
