Air pollution from PowerPlanet power plants are melting ice caps which destroy arctic animal habitats, which in return is killing the arctic species. Ice caps are sheets of ice that make up polar and sub-polar regions. Now with rising temperatures in the poles the ice caps melt and break off from the main lands. This will keep pushing animals inland, shrinking their habitable zone. WIth the shrinking of arctic animals’ habitat it drives them together which is not good for smaller animals who are prey to dominant species like polar bears. Ice caps can also seclude animals. Instead of you being on the block of ice, suppose it was a cute little arctic fox…
In the article, “Love in the time of climate change: Grizzlies and polar bears now mating” , Adam Popescu makes a claim saying that the climate change in the north is causing animals to interact/come together and mate. He supports this claim by first explaining that scientist has found the mix breeds of different bears. They are calling them prizzlies/grolars, they are simply the mix of grizzlies and polar bears. They’re considered the fusion of the arctic white bear and their cousins, brown bear. He argues that the bears are finding what they call ‘flexible mate choice’ instead of not mating at all they're mating with the best possible partners. They also mate because they seem to find each other sharing relatively close territories and the…
How is global warming disrupting the natural Arctic wildlife patterns? It disrupts when the ice melts, when the animals go into hibernation. During the video about the inuits. The inuits need to know when the animals are out, if they don’t, then they might starve, because all people need to eat. The evidence shown shows why the inuits have to be…
The human impact on today’s enlivenment for polar bears isn’t the best. Polar bears are finding harder to service with ice melting earlier in the spring and refreezing later in the fall. With larger oil companies moving closer into the arctic it is affecting the bears even more. Already having to deal with clement change and ice melting faster, big oil has moved in and poring toxins in to the environment. With the working of the oil rigs, oil is spilling out into the water poising the polar bears food sources. Other sea life is ingesting the oil then the polar bear eats the food and then is poising themselves. Polar bears with low health are not able to mate and have cubs, if the bears do have cubs the cubs die at an early age do to the lack…
8. b) Global warming has lead to a rising increase in temperature causing the ice sheets in the arctic to rapidly receded. Ice sheets melting is meaning there is a loss of habitats for the arctic animals such as the polar bears and walrus who live on the ice, gradually this will make the polar bears become extinct as…
The first effect of the Global Warming on the polar bears is their habitat. Habitat is the place providing animals with food, sleeping area and every essential material to live. In the Arctic, the polar bears’ habitat becomes worse recently due to the shortage of sea ice and food.…
There is a problem with the climate in the Arctic zone and how it has been causing the population of the Polar Bears to drop. There are organizations around the world helping the Polar Bears survive. Polar Bears have been endangered for ten years now and without organizations such as the WWF (World Wildlife Fund), the Polar Bear’s survival rate will drop drastically. The survival of the Polar Bears rely on the WWF organization’s Margaret Williams, the managing director for the Arctic program for the WWF, is an expert when it comes to the preventions for the Polar Bears. She is quoted saying, “We need to change course if we want to stop further habitat loss and ensure resilient wildlife populations both in the arctic and around the world,” (Margaret Williams).…
From Encyclopedia Britannica, It states The warming of our planet is causing less snow and melting ice. Ice is very important to us we use it to cross frozen rivers. From encyclopedia britannica, it states that polar bears homes are melting and the will be extinct.. from encyclopedia britannica, it states that polar bears homes are melting and the will be extinct. Global warming is ruining many things and we need to stop it…
Global Warming can bring about a severe change in atmosphere which could lead to loss of human and animal life and would also affect natural resources greatly.…
And personally, I think that this is a very real and serious issue. The increase amount of polar vortexes have seen over the past year are directly related to the climate change, and global warming. Also, there is melting of the polar ice caps, and countless species, whether insect, mammals, bird, or fish, are all at great risk. Many species have already been driven away from their primary habitats in places like Antarctica, related to the major changes. It is also leading to a complete switch in the weather system.…
Global warming is becoming a big issue of concern for walruses and seals. Earth’s temperature has risen by 1.5°F over the past century, it is predicted to rise another .5 to 8.6°F over the next hundred years (Climate Change: Basic Information). Small changes in the average temperature can cause large and potentially dangerous shifts in the climate and weather. Oceans and glaciers experienced tremendous changes. As oceans are warming they are becoming more acidic, ice caps are melting, and sea levels are rising. These factors pose threats to walruses and seals. Human activities are releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The majority of gases are coming from the burning of fossil fuels.…
This article explains how climate change has been rapidly melting the Arctic over the course of a few years. As a result, the faster the arctic melts the more damage will be done to the ecosystem, planet, and humans. A few examples of how drastically climate change has shaped the North are that the sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean began to decrease in size when it should have been increasing in size. Also, temperatures at the North Pole rose more than 20 degrees Celsius. These changes are causing polar bears to randomly stroll the shorelines of Hudson Bay in order to wait for the water to freeze. Researchers predicted by the year 2030 the Arctic may lose all of the ice. As a result, no ice in the arctic means ecosystems will be affected badly,…
Food is very important because it gives the animals its nutrition and prevents it from dying of starvation. Female Polar bears need the food the most to feed its cubs so it can grow. With no ice to use as a hunting ground, the Polar Bears will have trouble finding the food it needs to survive (Alaska Science Center). According to the World Wildlife Fund "Many Polar bears now suffer from malnutrition and others face starvation, espcially females with cubs."(WWF). The ice is melting because of global warming. Global warming is trapped heat in our atmostpear that increases the temparature of the Earth. The temarature increasing is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon diozide, water vapour, nitrous oxide, and methane. According…
Polar bears our looking for food but they can’t find it anymore. So they go into villages for more food which ends up having more bear attacks and deaths. 90% percent of the world’s food go to Alaska. The food source has always been fine for the polar bears. Arctic is getting warmer.…
Human causing global warming is causing the polar bears to almost go exttict. The idea is that the global warming is meltnig the polar ice caps and is destroying their enviroment. This is casuing them to die and even eat one another. The polar bear has been a macot for global warming for many years but when looking at the number the claims do not add up. In the 1950s it was reorted that there are 5000-10000 living polarbears in the world. In the year 2008 there were more than 25000 polar bears and the numbers has been incresing since then. It looks that the polar bears are doing all…
