Climate Change

This image has been made available from the Canadian Ice Service to coincide with the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)report released at the beginning of February. The panel released its report on rising temperatures and disappearing ice. This image was used a marketing tool to draw attention to the REPORT. The image suggests that the polar bears shown are trapped on an Iceberg, they are however excellent swimmers. As the ice melts the bears are forced to swim further in search of food and run the risk of drowning. There are 20,000 - 25,000 polar bears worldwide with 60% of these in Canada. For more information go to the WORLD WILDLIFE FUND site where there is a dedicated page on the Polar Bear.
