"The global warming scenario is pretty grim. I'm not sure I like the idea of polar bears under a palm tree."
Lenny Henry

I like this quote because even though it sounds absolutely ridiculous, it is not far from the scenario.  Global warming is causing glaciers all around the world to melt, which in return causes sea levels to rise.  Well, another horrible thing about glaciers melting besides sea levels rising is that glaciers are the home to thousands of arctic animals.  Where do the animals go if the glaciers melt?  There have been reports of people finding polar bears that have drowned in the oceans.  The glaciers are melting and stranding the animals in the middle of the oceans.  Scientists say that there are some species that are going to be able to adapt to sever climate changes, but most of them will not.  I can’t imagine a polar being able to adapt to such a severe climate change such as one that would cause the animals to have to live in tropical places.  I can somewhat see the polar bear species possibly being able to adapt to the change in a way that will not be too severe, such as possibly living in a slightly warmer climate, but that is what they are doing tight now!  It is only going to keep getting worse.  Polar bears are already living in substantially warmer climates already, they will not be able to survive much more if their homes are disappearing, and their food is scarce.  The arctic is suffering from global warming immensely, and there isn’t anything we can do to take back the damage that has already been done, we can only help stop it in the future.
