Then she would understand that her grandmother isn't cooking for the nutritional value, but rather to create the special tastes and aromas that only a grandmother is able to create. Therefor, there would be no argument.
I reckon if the ice melts they will find something else to eat anyway.
Maybe a few liberals on rye.
LOL, K...
they depend on orbicular polar ice to survive. The ice is melting and they won't be able to evolve in time to adapt to another environment. There aren't like blackies or grizzlies that can live in a fairly wide range. Whether the whole thing is human caused or just the way of nature doesn't really matter to them.
For anyone that believes in evolution, polar bears will survive if they can adapt. If not they won't. Its that simple. There would however be a lot of other species that would thrive in the absence of polar bears and with the changes in climate.
But the global warming alarmists must always convince us that everything is horrible and that all life will die and humans will go extinct. Thats why I don't buy into it. Problem: We are all going to die. Solution: Give all power to control resources over to government and politicians who like socialism.
"At today's announcement, Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne noted the dramatic decline of Arctic sea ice as the greatest threat to the bears."
I heard an environmentalist on NPR today say that it may not help the overall movement if people are asked to make drastic changes in their lifestyles to theoretically save an animal that they will probably never see, and who would probably eat the humans if they ever did come in contact with them.
I wonder if the polar bears are dying... could we not make fur coats out of them if they are dying? I mean find one on the brink of death and kill it and take its fur... at least it died for something rather than waste... make a fur coat out of it...
A simple fact: the body of evidence indicates the globe is getting warmer, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is getting higher and there is a causal link between them.
The derivation is that as humans have greatly increased the combustion of carbon in the last 400 years, then humans are responsible for the increased CO2 concentration and hence responsible for the warming. Good enough for me.
How humanity copes with this warming is open for debate. The debate includes who gains, who looses, what are their relative economic and military power and what to do about the CO2, if anything. In any case it is as likely to take as long to stop the warming as it took to start it and even longer to reverse it and return the climate to the same as the 1600’s. Or to decide if that climate is desirable. In the meantime the global temperature will continue to rise due to the CO2 forcing.
CO2 doesn't cause warming. It increases after warming has already happened.

How long have polar bears been around?
What did they do the last time th eice melted?
