    All because of carbon dioxide? well the Polar bears arent enjoying having no icebergs to stand on either thanks to the carbon dioxide affecting the weather, this is so sad, everything in nature here thank you to these

    'fossil fuels' being ignorantly abused for many years we have done so much damage.

    POLAR BEARS- atleast 5 of them have being reportedly attacking smaller females which has never been recorded until within the recent years! Polar bears have been eating the remains of their dead Polar bear species!!!! they never used to do this!!!!????
