Polar Bears And Icebergs

According to the World Meteorological Organisation, many of the consequences of global warming are now practically irreversible. The oceans are warmer than ever before and there is more carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere than there has been for 800,000 years. The window of action is getting smaller and smaller, and the consequences of the climate crisis are becoming ever more drastic. The climate crisis is particularly visible in the Arctic, where ice masses are melting at a rapid pace - there has never been as little ice there in February as there was in 2025. This is particularly dramatic for polar bears, as they live mainly on the (melting) pack ice. Their habitat is rapidly disappearing, driving the starving animals into villages and settlements. In 25 years, a third of the polar bears will be extinct. In future, polar bears and icebergs will probably be seen primarily as historical images - and in the case of polar bears, as objects in zoos.
