How animals are being affected by the changing environment.

Polar Bears are fit to swim long distances, but they are not built to live in the water. This may seem obvious, but in recent times polar bears have had to do some searching to find ice bergs that are suitable for their body size. For example, in the film titled Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore points out that the polar bear population is dwindling due to the challenge they are facing to find appropriate homes. In a scenario between us and the environment, the results are different. For example, in the rainforest it is estimated that every second, a plot of land the size of a baseball field is destroyed. This is important because there is so much diversity and plenty to be discovered in this varied area. In temperate regions in the world, rivers overflow with content fish. In neighboring urbanized vicinities, the gasses that factories produce turn to vapor high in the atmosphere. When it rains, these toxic gasses rain into the rivers with water, thus producing acid rain. Slowly the fish population is lessened. The question is clear when we decide which is more important: energy for our growing society, or the delicate ecosystem that envelopes our entire world.
