How the Lack of Sustainability Impacts our world For decades the world has been facing an ever increasing crisis in which the sustainability of our planet is not strong enough to support the expanding population. As our population grows, the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere increases dramatically, causing a change in our climate that threatens the balance of nature. This essay will touch on just a few of the adverse impacts that a lack of sustainability in our world has had on…
Being one of the top predators in the Arctic, polar bears are exposed to very high levels of toxins and pollutants through their food. One fish may have a small amount amount of toxins in its tissue, but seals eat many fish a day and the polar bears eat the seals resulting in a high amount of toxins being consumed by the polar bears. Polar bears who have high levels of toxins and pollutants in its body have low levels of vitamin A, thyroid hormones, and antibodies. Those previously listed are…
Although animals might struggle to live under the two effects above of global warming for now, animal species completely cannot make it through for the rest of their lifetime because animals cannot improve their bodies’ structures to adapt the change in their habitat. For this effect, cold-blooded animals are specific examples; according to the article “Amphibians Don’t Cozy Up to Warmer Climes,” based on the information of researchers at Stony Brook University, warmer environment shortens…
attacks , polar bear attacks, and brown bear attacks. But one story kind of freaked him out.

In the tundra these wolves are sometimes eaten by snow leopards, polar bears, and foxes. Not very often do you find these wolves get hunted by other animals because of how tough and fierce they are. Most of the time, the are the hunters and not the…
The chief threat to the polar bear is the loss of its habitat. The sea ice, which is their major habitat, has been shrinking because of climate change. Also, it is expected that it will also cause a decline in polar bears’ prey because they rely on for reaching their seal prey on the sea ice. Furthermore, the diminished sea ice affects increases in drowning and cannibalism. As climate change melts sea ice, the U.S. Geological Survey projects that two thirds of polar bears will disappear by…
The four basic cultural divisions of the Arctic consisted of the Unangan, Yup’ik, and 2 types of Inuit.

They are different from the…
