Bueno\n\n  \n\nOn the arctic and subarctic ice lives those majestic creatures\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe powerful polar bear with all their built for cold features\u0026nbsp;\n\nTheir place as the arctics apex predator unquestionable and their existence essential\u0026nbsp;\n\nThey're the kind of impressive animal that can make you get existential\u0026nbsp;\n\nUnfortunately for them and us they now face the problem of a rapidly dwindling home\n\nTemperatures rise and the climate becomes increasingly erratic\u0026nbsp;\n\nIt's possible soon they'll lack their familiar tundra biome\u0026nbsp;\n\nIf the polar ice does continue to shrink and eventually disappear in the coming years\u0026nbsp;\n\nIt's practically inevitable what would happen then I fear\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe mighty polar bears would vanish as the ice faded away\n\nWe're already seeing glimpses of this tragic future\n\nFaster than expected the experts say\u0026nbsp;\n\nStill there's hope even during a period of uncertainty and dismay\u0026nbsp;\n\nWe've identified the problem and ways to prevent further progression of what's happening now\n\nIt's just a matter of figuring out how\n\nHow to reverse the growth of the terrible seeds of an unnaturally changing climate that shouldn't have been sowed\u0026nbsp;\n\nWe can only hope we somehow do and the fierce polar bears manage to endure\u0026nbsp;\n\nThat for the problem of the dwindling ice we find a solution in time, a cure\n\nPeople are already trying, it's just a matter of continuing and doing our best to do more\n\nTo be sure that's there's a future for the sake of the polar bears and the world that is secure\u0026nbsp;   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
