Canada is a developed country‚ with advances in public sanitation‚ medicine‚ and public health. All of which give Canada a low mortality rate. Immigration also plays a big part in Canada’s population growth‚ as Canada is considered by many to

Evolution of Polar Bears The observed fossil transitions that inform our knowledge of Polar Bear speciation are very well documented. Bear fossils change through time: generally‚ when examining the fossil record‚ successively deeper levels of sediments or sedimentary rocks yield successively older fossils. For some transitions from one species to another‚ one can find a well-characterized series of transitional specimens leading the observer across the species "boundaries" (Kurten‚ 1976). Sometime

little about the Polar bear‚ because I hear more about the Polar Bears being affected by global warming more than any other ocean animals. Polar Bears are affected by the reduction of sea ice‚ because this is where they go to rest and hunt for their food. Polar Bears are known to be entirely dependent on the sea ice for their survival. I also read in a 2007 report from the US Geological Service‚ they say that as the sea ice continues to decline‚ the population of our Polar Bears could decrease

in the past decades as sea temperatures rise‚ causing reefs to “’collapse catastrophically’” (Markey). Colder regions‚ too‚ are feeling the heat. In the Arctic‚ shrinking sea ice is disappearing at a rate of 11% per decade‚ which has depleted polar bear habitats and shortened their winter hunting season‚ resulting in malnutrition and population decline(Dvorak). Meanwhile‚ on the opposite pole‚ the Antarctic Peninsula’s temperatures are rising even faster‚ spurring heavier snowfall and a dramatic

less to enjoy. Why is the ice melting? I believe it is global warming‚ although some might debate my beliefs. I believe that the rapid change in temperatures caused by the increase of C02 Admisions is rapidly raising the temperatures of the polar bears habitat. Some argue that‚ we have only tracked a 1 degree temperature change throughout the earth‚ that is a mere change that would not send the ice melting so fast‚ but with some further reaserach i found that a 1 degree temperature change‚ is

The scene in the movie where Algore showed a short clip of a polar bear swimming in a vast ocean where the North Pole‚ supposedly have already melted‚ was truly got to me. This bear was swimming almost desperately and when it came to this thin floating piece of ice it tried to climb on but the
