Recently on the news was a topic of endangered Animals and the Bush administration has added a new species on to this growing list. It's the polar bears who're endangered because of the disappearing ice. This means the polar bears will have to swim twice as far to find food and other usable resources. Many of them drown in the cold waters trying to find ice to rest on. Polar bears also have one of the slowest reproduction process in the animal kingdom. Well this is a growing problem and it will soon start effecting our daily lives. Secretary Kempthorne mentioned "Polar bears are one of nature's ultimate survivors, able to live and thrive in one of the world's harshest environments," he said. "But we are concerned the polar Bear's habitat may be literally melting." The government will start taking action soon (hopefully), there will be some strict rules against the population and they will also start to work on reducing the Greenhouse gases. I personally think that the government has been slacking and haven't done anything so far to stop these greenhouse gases and even though it said they are planing on doing something about it, I don't think much is going to get done but what I know I'm just a kid :P
