Wake up...The planet is getting hot

 

Polar bears have adapted amazingly to life in the rugged Arctic environment. But the average temperatures in the Arctic are rising at almost twice the rate as temperatures in the rest of the world, and the sea ice that polar bears depend on for survival is thinning and retreating at rates the planet has never seen before.
Within not too distant future, the Arctic Ocean could effectively be ice-free in the summer. This rapid loss of sea ice threatens the Arctic  wildlife - including the polar bear - that rely on this frozen environment to hunt and survive. As the ice disappears, the incidence of polar bear drownings is increasing dramatically.
