Question:

My igloo is starting to melt, and this is really upsetting my polar bear?

Summer is coming earlier and earlier every year, and lasting longer and longer every year up here in Canada. Every summer when the igloo starts to melt, as you know, we put up our Tee-pee and live there. Every year my polar bear struggles to make this transition. He really doesn't like change, it scares him. And so, for about 2 weeks during this transition, he refuses to go anywhere (which is bad, because he is my main form of transportation). Anyone have any ideas on how to make this transition easier for my polar bear?

Thank-you

Your Canadian friend

  1. o thats not good.i dont know what my family would do without our polar bears up here in alaska. i would suggest before the snow starts to melt, put up out tee-pee anyway and take your bear over there once or twice a day. that's how i am able to adjust my polar bear every summer. make sure to also have lots of salmon(or whatever you feed your bear) available so as not to become malnourished in that difficult time. nothings worse than not having a polar bear to take you places because their sick!!(I should know, my cousin had to skip our Christmas celebration because his polar bear was sick :(

    best of luck!!                  -your Alaska friend(and her polar bear)


  2. Get Al Gore to lower the temperature for you.

  3. Get a grant for doing climate research, start a website and buy a BMW, it's a more comfy form of transportation.

  4. Try putting water on it this will turn the ice solid for awile and then just keep putting ice cubes around it and try to keep in shade and isolated.

  5. Ha Ha Ha.  That is so funny!!!!  Maybe you could leave your polar bear at Al Gore's house.  He'd probably take good care of it.

  6. Maybe you can offset the carbon emission you polar bear releases by planting a tree. LOL.

  7. I hear ya!  I had the same problem with my polar bear, actually things got so  bad it wouldn't even chase them darn'd seals out of the yard anymore.  So, I called Al Gore and asked him what to do.  First thing he asked me was if my igloo was made of ice or styrofoam.  When I told him, he had a hard time accepting it because according to his 'climatic-computer' the ice should all have been gone from here years ago.  He couldn't understand.  Anyhow, being the polar bear expert that he is, his answer was to purchase a Smart Car and teach the bear to drive.  That should make the transition much more pleasant, he said.  So I did that.

    That was three weeks ago, and I've never seen a happier bear!   The only problem is...everyone else did the same thing, and we're just discovering that there simply isn't enough electricity in the world to keep all our Smart Cars charged for when we need them.  When all of us are plugged in at the same time, the power grid dies.  What can we do?

  8. I'm sorry for your polar bear. Can you tell him that he is the unfortunate victim of the earth coming off an ice age? Change is always happening on earth, and for now, we will warm up until the next ice age begins to turn things around. We'll be long gone by then, though. That's Mother Nature for ya!

  9. Tell him to quit his complaining.  The last one I saw was stuffed & mounted.

  10. hey i hear you.

    I had the same thing happen, I'm in Newfoundland, and when my polar bear was going throu that trasition he never wanted to do anything, so i made a ice vest for him. He lover it, just put it on him for a week prior to the transition period and a week after, i have been doing that now for a few years, seams to work for me. Hope it helps your polar bear too.

  11. Have you discussed carbon points with your polar bear. Maybe Al Gore can give you some suggestions.
