Arctic Tale Class Response

In Science class, we watched a movie on how we might be affecting polar bears, walruses
and more. It showed how over time, the ice is melting more than usual. This is called Global Warming, its like a greenhouse effect. All the species,could go extinct because there is nofood they could get to, or at all. For example, the melting of the ice decreases the amount of space for the polar bears to walk on. And even though polar bears can swim, not very long. Its already hard enough to find food in the Arctic, when you have little room, it makes it way more harder. Remember,global warming also affects the walruses, because they use the ice to rest on and get away from danger. But with little ice, they barely get rest. And ice is where the walruses hide underneath. Now they don't have anywhere to hide. As you can see, Global warming has a great effect on many animals, and we could do a little to help.
