__Polar Bears are dying!__
"Global warming sees polar bears stranded on melting ice They cling precariously to the top of what is left of the ice floe, their fragile grip the perfect symbol of the tragedy of global warming. Although the magnificent creatures are well adapted to the water, and can swim scores of miles to solid land, the distance is getting ever greater as the Arctic ice diminishes. Swimming 100 miles is not a big deal for a polar bear, especially a fat one," said Dr Ian Stirling of the Canadian Wildlife Service. "They just kind of float along and kick. But as the ice gets farther out from shore because of warming, it’s a longer swim that costs more energy and makes them more vulnerable." Concluding that it is "highly likely" that mankind is to blame for climate change, it talks of more droughts, torrential rains, shrinking Arctic ice and glaciers, and rising sea levels for the next century. And it warns that the effects of a build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will last far longer. Studies of polar bears have revealed that not only have their numbers declined – by nearly one quarter in just 20 years to around 25,000 – but so has their physique. The bears can be 10ft tall and 1700lbs in weight, using their body fat to keep them alive when the temperatures plummet in the harshest part of their winter to minus 45C. But the scientists have observed that in the struggle for survival, the bears - and females especially - are now much thinner. Scientists believe that four bears which recently drowned off the coast of Alaska had simply been unable to cope with a violent storm. Dr Stirling says that the phenomenon of a female giving birth to triplets is now part of history with usually only single cubs recorded. Soon, he says, the species may be extinct."

Dear Reader, My friend Aili and I are very aware of global warming and what is happening to polar bears. We love the animal the polar bear so we don’t want them to get extinct. Aili and I were wondering if you would donate money to help save them. Studies show that it is VERY rare for mother polar bears to give birth to triplets or even have 2 babies. If you search polar bears on google images there will be tons of horribly sad pictures of polar bears. A lot of the pictures will show polar bears drowning or floating on a little piece of ice in the middle of the ocean. We really hope you care as much about polar bears as we do! Thanks!!! Sincerely, Shannon And Aili P.S. If you would like to reply please ask to be a member of my wikipage. When you are in the process of joining you can comment. Could you please send me a comment that says "can I help?". Thanks!
