Global Warming Effect

Where did everybody go?

Where did everybody go?

The global warming is making many effects, like the ice is melting and the polar bears are dying 'cause they get tired when they swim and there is nowhere where they can rest.

So then they sink, IT IS ALREADY LATE NOW BUT WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD AND HELP THE POLAR BEARS FROM GETTING EXTINCT SO IT'S BETTER TO...

Start Working Hard by:



1. dont leave the lights on.

2. recycle use a bicycle instead cars(so we can reduce the air pollution.)

These are all good and easy so let's start doing it before it gets worse - make a change to the world and help the polar bears and their little cute babies.

thx

Barry's Response Thank you, Rebecca for this picture of lonely polar bear out on a wayward piece of ice, floating off like he's on vacation...

I sometimes wonder, has this kind of thing always happened to bears or is it just recent? Are we only now aware of it because we have cameras, internet and transportation not available to previous generations? There is a good chance of that that needs to be considered.

Lets Think about this a While


The story gets more complicated as you dig deeper. They're big, furry, and a little too photogenic not to be the poster children for climate change. There are about 26,000–30,000 polar bears today, up from 5,000–10,000 in the 1950s. In Earth's history, they've survived much warmer and colder periods.

Other than CO2, what else drives climate patterns? Maybe solar cycles, ocean currents, or volcanic activity? The overemphasis on CO2 in climate models underplays them. We all know that cleaning up pollution, recycling, and cutting waste are good stewardship (and common sense), but linking them all to polar bear survival? Maybe it's just spandex on a sumo wrestler.

Let's not turn concern into fear, so let's use facts, not feelings. If you know how to teach a polar bear to ride an iceberg, let me know.

This is an excellent post I seen thanks to share it. It is really what I wanted to see hope in future you will continue for sharing such a excellent post.

From Barry - Thank you, buddy. I'm glad some people still enjoy levity. Keeps us from getting grumpy.

starstarstarstarstar 		good article
by: Aja

A lot of article about the perspective of human life. You have explored human life in his own style or level of thinking which is very unique. I don't have anyone who have such high level of thinking about life. You don't think like other human think, You don't see the life like ordinary person see and live. You have given a new direction to human life.

From Barry - That's awesome, maybe I don't see life any clearer than the next guy, but I do try to take off the foggy glasses sometimes. Thanks a lot.

by: Anonymous

Polar bears are fabulous we should save them because they are so fabulous they deserve to live and you can't deny them the right to be fabulous. Please recycle your trash. End global warming.

From Barry - Okay, let's save the bears with the truth, not slogans. They've survived a few warm spells. Do you pick up trash and recycle? I'm fine with that.

this picture has really inspired me to take my part in making the world a better place. thankyou for sharing this with me.

From Barry - Thanks, Asia. You'll probably care more about your corner of the world after reading this, and I'm sure the polar bears will too.

In the 1950 there were only about 5,000 polar bears but today there are over 30,000 of them. I am no expert but I think they are doing just fine thank you very much.
I don't understand the push to reduce C02 as this is not a polutant, there are much better things to go after like large cities dumping raw sewage directly into the oceans. In Canada we have Victoria in B.C. that does just that.
Why greenpeace and others are fixated on CO2 is beyond me as higher levels just make it easier for plants to grow and produce more O2.
This whole movement is replacing the socialist movement by using the green movement to move wealth from rich countries to poorer ones. I hope the public will catch on and stop it.
Another interesting thing is the recycling movement, in our city it cost about $4,000.00 a ton to collect recycled plastic and paper etc. and they get to sell it for $30.00 per ton. This makes no sense at all, it is a waste of money and time and effort. All of our waste should be burned and used to produce energy.
Please stop sending money to rip off artists like greenpeace and the world wildlife fund etc. they are all just socialist painted green and they want to ruin our countries and the world.
Just in ending, life in Canada would be a whole lot better if there was some global warming, it is just to cold here.

From Barry - You make some good points. CO2 feeds plants, and sewage in oceans is a bigger problem. That's right - some of this movement seems more about redistributing wealth than saving the planet. Adam Smith would be livid at that inefficiency.

I saw a graph on global warming and the only time it wasn't rising was from 1946-50. That was when a war torn Europe was slowly rebuilding with little economic activity. The graph didn't reverse, it just flattened out. As soon as the economy got rolling again, we were back to the races.I guess as soon as the next economic bubble occurs,the temp increase rate should increase again. Unless we just keep people broke and unemployed that is? I really hope I am wrong!:(

From Barry - Wow, that's a great observation. Economic activity and CO2 are often linked, but is CO2 the horse or the cart? Spikes in CO2 didn't always follow warming. Take that into account.

The planet was completely ice at one time, the ice has been melting for thousands of years. We can not change its inevitable course. Everything or anything will end in time. The key word here is moderation, if you are wasteful and you know it, then you can do something about it, recycle, walk, ride, etc. etc.

From Barry - Yeah, that's wisdom. Keep it balanced. Don't be afraid. Sometimes nature does its thing. Let's be responsible without pretending to control the planet.

by: Doris Duewel

HI BARRY, it is a scientifical proof, that the ice is NOW melting all the time, while it was earlier more.
It is also proven, that the number of ice bears are getting less all the time.
China and USA will be not only be the coffin nail to the ice bears, but later to mankind too.
If we all put enough pressure on these industrial nations to reduce their CO 2 output, we are saving our life with animals.

From Barry - Doris, I hear you. I'd caution that not every graph tells the whole story, and "proof" is tricky. For thousands of years, ice has fluctuated. I agree with you about avoiding unnecessary pollution, whatever the reason.

by: Alue112

Gloabal warming is not real! polar bears can swim for hours!!! anyone that belives in global warming is dumb. scininties want us to do wat they want us to do. but, ridng a bike is better cuz you dont use up fewl. and recycling is good to.

From Barry - Alue112, I agree with you about bikes and trash. Bears are Olympic-class swimmers. Polar bears won't sink unless they're old, sick, or hurt. Keep our heads.

starstarstar 		Love Polar Bears
by: amcohn

Ive heard about this before..Not sure how long these poor animals have been suffring..but we do need to clean up the world..it is true we, recycle,thats easy enough..

From Barry - It's time we took better care of the planet. What's the best way? Cleaning up waterways and cutting garbage might help more than worrying about CO2.

starstar 		they sink?
by: connie

This site could be taken much more seriously if some of the writings weren't so childish sounding.
If cleaning up the planet is the answer to saving some of these animals, then we better do it. If we can find cleaner energy sources, it would be a big help, when you consider the ozone layer and global warming.

From Barry - Connie, you've got a sharp eye. Sometimes these things sound like school projects. Energy that's cleaner? Sure, as long as it's reliable and affordable.

starstarstarstar 		Why do people care so much about polar bears?
by: Christine

Not to say that they shouldn't be "saved", but I'm just curious why polar bears seem to have become the mascot for global warming advocates?

Many different species become endangered or extinct everyday, but it seems like polar bears are the ones that people point out and actually know about.

It would be interesting to learn about how polar bears became the symbol for environmentalists. And it would also be interesting to read some actual facts about the current status of polar bears.

From Barry - Christine, you're right. It's easy to photograph polar bears against melting ice because they're cute, white, and easy to photograph. There are countless other species at risk with regard to air quality and climate change.

Well, global warming is definitely threatening not only polar bears but human race as well. I just hope someone will listen to folks like you. Perhaps it's not too late yet.

From Barry - Helm, I hope people think, question, and learn instead of just buying the latest alarmist headline. That's the best way to go.

La responsabilidad de mantener el planeta limpio de contaminantes es de todos, asi que no nos hagamos d la vista gorda, el sol nos va a quemar a todos indistintamente cuando sea tarde.

From Barry - (Using an online translator), this works out in English to "The responsibility to maintain the planet clean of polluting agents is of all, asi that we do not become d the fat Vista, the sun is going to us to burn indifferently to all when it is late." I don't know if that helps any.
