Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot. Nothing is going to get better.  It’s not. – Dr. Seuss

The polar bears of Churchill must overcome bitter cold and hunger to survive.  Today, they face a new threat – global warming.  Div. 10 learned that global warming is the gradual rise in the surface temperature of the earth.  One of the main causes is the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.  The warmer temperatures cause the ice on Hudson Bay to thaw earlier in the spring and freeze later in the fall.  When this happens, the bears have less time to hunt and eat.   Polar bears must look for their food elsewhere  – this can lead to more encounters between people and bears![metaslider id=1951]

When it comes to the problem of global warming, there is no one solution.  But everyone can help by using energy wisely.  Div. 10 decided to turn out the lights when we leave the room, and ask to walk to school more often.

Can you think of other ways that people can help?
