If the temperature trend continues, it will take aproximately 25 to 35 years until the last polar bears living in the wild die out. Why? There is a lack of ice at the north pole! Take a look:



Pretty scary, isn't it? But how can we prevent that from happening anymore? Of course we can do more at home and be more conservant [see other posts in this blog] from now on, but that won't be enough.

We'd need to export snow to the Arctic through huge water pumps that pumps in fresh water from Russian or Canadian lakes to the worst Arctic areas. When the freshwater reaches it destinations, it would be made into snow using snow cannons.

That's not an easy thing to do. It would require a lot of energy and probably 100-200 billion dollars every year. Not simple, and not cheap either.

Since that's pretty much out of the question as of now, we'll have to do something easier. We'll need to build oil platforms in the Arctic. Polar bears can live in the enclosure and be fed by the oil workers.

To all the people who insist to me that the sea ice is NOT melting or getting thinner, that it is in fact GROWING in thickness... You are wrong. The consequences of global warming are not good! As you've seen, the ice sheets of the north pole are rapidly decreasing.

Be conservative at home to help this earth... Avoid driving your car; carpool, walk, or bike instead. Buy recycled/organic products. For recycling to work, there must be a demand, so purchase those products. Keep your car's tires properly inflated, and change your air filter. Replace old appliances in your house. Unplug un-used electronics, even when they're turned off. Only run your dishwasher on a full load [don't run it as often]. Keep your temperatures down 2 degrees in the winter, and up 2 degrees in the summer. If you get cold, bundle up instead of cranking the heat! And last but not least, BUY A HYBRID CAR. :]
