So this blog post has pics. for a change. I think i might start adding pics for the fun of it. Plus it gives you an idea of what im thinking about. I was bored. Shhh...tho this subject is quite important to me.
The Polar bears are losing their habitat. Losing the ice means losing hunting opportunities, swimming conditions become dangerous as the ice moves further and further apart, and of course their population decreases. Thus these cute ass bears are making less babies...From what ive read scientists are predicting that a full 2/3 of Polar Bears will be gone by 2050...
With Global Warming not only are animals affected, but the water is also affected. The Southwestern streams have been affected severely. These streams come from the mountains that have a huge downpour in snow, or once did. The water from these streams supply water for irrigation, purifying for drinking, Ecosystems for animals, and Native Americans. The threats to these streams have only gotten worse as the heat comes in more intensely and earlier. The spring temps come in usually 3-4 weeks earlier than in the past. The Winter temperatures have also gone up thus reducing the accumulation of snowpack in the mountains having an affect on the spring and summer melt offs which is declining.
Reading all of this for me has given me a lot to think about. More the fact that there is no way to really stop the rising temps that are slowly killing off animals and reducing water. It has made me realize a lot that is going on today on earth that really didn't have much affect on the planet say 40 or 50 years ago. This all gives you a very small idea as to what exactly 'Global Warming' is and what it is doing to our ecosystem.
