Over the past few years the discussion of global warming has been a hot topic in the government. According to animal protection agencies the Arctic sea water is not freezing over for as long and as far as it used to and this is due to global warming. If so, global warming is affecting many animals and also putting them at risk to becoming endangered or extinct. Among these animals is the polar bear. It relies on the Arctic sea to freeze over in order for it to go out every winter and catch large amounts of food so it can survive the summer. For whatever reason, the sea is not freezing with the quality it used to and numbers of polar bears has slowly dropped until now it is being considered an endangered species. Experts are saying that in the near future it is even possible that they will become extinct if the proper precautions are not taken to preserve their species.
