How is this humans fault? undecided

Humans contribute by causing global warming (thru the release of effluent and other chemical wastes & oil which damage aquatic life forms). Also, people deplete the aquatic life forms by direct fishing of special species used for several purposes (research, drugs & materials for the fashion industry ). These and many more reasons cause the Polar Bear to lack food to prey on.

Humanity's actions has heated up the atmosphere which has caused the polar ice caps, the home of the polar bears, to melt off and much of the other local species like seals to seek other lands cos space isn't enough. If the seals and Co aren't there the bears don't have food. The bears themselves cannot migrate to other lands so they starve on. Also the bear hibernate for a long period of time so this particular bear may have just woken up and hadn't seen any food.

In the end, even after humans have gone extinct, this beautiful blue planet would regenerate in preparation for the next superior species of organisms.

That is what distinguishes this great planet Earth from other planets. It can create and sustain live under any circumstances.

The earth appears to be a partially sentient planet and can take care of herself. Do not cry for her.

Go and read about the Gaia concept of this great planet.

From the picture, there is enough ice for the Bear to chill, it's just starving, a condition that happens to humans too.

I get the point your thread is making but let's try not to put all the blame on humans, we're simply doing what we have to to survive and we are also a victim of nature too.

I'm not sure but I think it's due to global warming since polar bears survive better on cold iced seas.

That bear might have just woken up from hibernation and was just looking for some fish to fatten itself under up

Human activities affect nature and affects humans too. Now, this will cause a big rise in sea level which will cause flooding and famine. Guess humans cause these natural disasters themselves.

The bears live mainly on ice where they get their food from. Global warming causes the iced oceans to melt and since they aren't aquatic animals they can't swim hence creating a barrier between them and their food which gradually leads to extinction.

As a whole, we usually trust in the services society provides us, like waste disposal. But that trust dissipates with images such as this one of tires thrown out in the middle of the desert in Nevada.
it takes over 50 years for a tyre to degrade its time scientists start searching for a faster way to make it easy

It doesnt want to chill...It wants to feed. The creatures bears feed on cannot survive the prevailing environmental conditions found in those regions now, death caught up with them. The bears cannot sip ice and be okay. The ice in those regions have receded immensely due to global warming...Global warming came about from man's massive carbon footprint. We're simply not living green enough

The water animals are dying as a result of oil spill ages, not all of them can survive in cold places....

Secondly humans kill too much of sea animals. Not only for food of the rising population but because of show off, hence these polar bears find it difficult to hunt for their food.

Thirdly if you watch animal planets you would notice animals don't give birth anyhow without nature there to control their population....


With the way humans are increasing in population and the way we destroy forests for industries, Estates and sand fill oceans even when we still have unoccupied lands and abandoned houses.... Our greed is killing this earth

Will humans destroy their habitat?

Nice work Op
But please don't forget to outline corrective mrasures

For waste I think it's easy, we should take after Sweden known as the cleanest country in the world, convert our waste into power generating source.

For population, we should reduce the numbers of children we give birth to annually... Each couple should have one or two kids is more than enough.

Stop sandfilling and make use of available buildings and abandoned places.


For oil spillage well, I've heard one can use them as by products or something, science has surely figured out what to do but humans see greed like cancer is a business...

Preachers should stop preaching the God hogwash statements of 'go out and multiply'.

How was your response to his intelligent question educative?

Madam that bear is obviously sick n yea animals get "sick". That's why we have VETS.

Also I highlighted the part I found irritable about your reply to him... you don't even know what you're posting? Just created a thread unto something u saw online but didn't bother to research adequately?

Nigerians *thumbs up*

Some nairalanders eh, u go just tire. Just look at what you typed here. Someone took her time to educate you on how your activities are gradually destroying the planet and all you can do is to attack her just because she said she's not sure of an answer. If u want answer Google it na . na wa o.

Now let me educate you as an environmental scientist. That polar bear you see in that picture is not sick but starving because its ecosystem has been altered. The continuous rise of the world's temperature (mostly due to human activities which the op has rightly pointed out) has led to the melting of the ice caps and the polar bear can only thrive below 0°.

Also, the polar bear likes to feed on fish and other aquatics but the polar fish are also dying to rising of the sea water, melting of the ice above the water,oil spillage, over fishing, and rising temperature of the sea Waters. So tell me how that bear will not starve
