Testimonials and Comments for Polar Bears
The polar regions are important for several reasons. First of all, they are the canaries in the coal mine; effects of global warming are seen first and most dramatically near the poles. Second, warming at the poles directly effects the climate of the rest of the world. Melting ice increases freshwater output from Arctic rivers, slowing ocean circulation and raising the sea level. The retreat of reflective snow and ice cover exposes more area of dark-colored land and water to solar radiation; this additional absorbed heat further warms the oceans and earth. The Arctic permafrost itself may contain the most dire effects of all. As it melts, it releases trapped carbon and methane greenhouse gases. Arctic soils hold one-third of the earthÌs soil carbon. If this were released, it would dwarf human-caused emissions.
save the polar bear !!!!!!!!!!!!!
