The Home Of The Polar Bear
1980s - 2022 CE
“Global warming, caused by the buildup of man-made carbon dioxide is causing arctic sea ice to melt at an alarming rate. Most scientists warn that nearly all of the polar bear's summer sea ice could vanish by 2040… which will prove catastrophic for the polar bear. Unless we take effective action now the polar bear could lose 100 percent of its habitat to global warming and become extinct in Alaska by 2050.”
