Global Warming Starves Polar Bears
By Nick Tart
As an inconvenient truth, global warming is affecting our world. But who can physically feel the effects of global warming on a daily basis? Sure, this summer may have been a couple degrees hotter than the last summer, but do the majority of humans really notice this difference?
The human species is undeniably at fault for global warming but we are not necessarily the ones who have to cope with its effects. One of the regions most drastically affected by global warming is the Arctic Circle. And who lives there? Polar bears.
Studies have shown that over the last 20 years, polar bear populations have dropped nearly 25 percent. Not only have they dropped in numbers, scientists have also noticed that they have dropped significantly in size. Polar bears use their body fat to stay alive in cold weather and to float longer in stormy seas. Without excessive body fat, it is much more difficult for them to survive.
Four polar bears were recently discovered off the coast of Alaska after they apparently drowned during a violent storm. Scientists are beginning to recognize that the melting of the polar ice caps frequently leaves polar bears stranded on islands and ice burgs.
Polar bears can swim up to 100 miles to get back to the mainland, but it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to do this. They have to swim longer distances more often which consequently causes them to lose valuable body fat. Also, if the ice caps recede any more than 100 miles from where the polar bears are stranded, they will not be able to eat until the following winter.
Is Global Warming a New Religion?

It appears that we can add yet another topic to the list of “no fly zone” conversations you should bring up at cocktail parties in mixed company? Yep, religion and politics are hardly alone, move over for a little hot air and watch the Global Warming hotheads ignite with anger when you bring up anything to do with Global Warming.
Of course, if we analyze this situation and consider that the beginnings of all religions started with worship of our natural surroundings and environment, we can see why Global Warming has turned into a religious like mental issue for so many. Too, it is propped up with incessant headlines warning of us of the future doom and gloom; a hell on Earth if you will. One that is sure to disrupt all human life, if we do not act immediately.
The Global Warming Alarmists blame any major event in the World on Global Warming. Hurricanes, beach erosion, ice storms, heat waves, 1-inch in a decade ocean levels rising, polar bear population increases or even Earthquakes. It’s much like the negative Bush Administration bashing where they blame everything on President Bush including Continental Drift, Mars Atmosphere and Global Warming itself.
Recently, in Malibu, I talked with a real estate agent lady, skinny little blonde thing with an attitude and she told me Global Warming was causing houses to fall into the ocean. I laughed and told her, well here is one for you. Rule of Thumb; “Don’t buy a ocean condo where you can fish off balcony!”
