We use fuel for energy, but it is making the climate warmer. As a result, the ice melts, and the sea level rises. It is bad news for polar bears!
Polar bears live in the cold Arctic. The frozen Arctic is their home and the ice is their hunting ground. A polar bear usually stands on the sea ice to hunt for seals when they come up for air. But the ice has started to melt
earlier each year. As the ice
melts, some polar bears have
lost their homes. Homeless

生活在变暖世界中的北极熊
人类使用化石燃料作为能源,也正因如此,导致了气候变暖。结果就是冰川融化、海平面上升。这对北极熊来说是个糟糕的消息!
北极熊生活在寒冷的北极。这片极寒之地是它们的家园,冰层是它们的捕猎场。北极熊通常会站在冰面上,等海豹从海水里出来透气时捕猎它们。但是冰面开始融化的时间越来越提前,冰面一旦融化,部分北极熊就失去了家园。无家可归的北极熊只能提早移居陆地,并且在陆地上待得更久。因为无法获取足够食物,它们极为饥饿。
这些变化都是全球变暖的后果。全球变暖导致北极熊生活得更加艰苦。它们的未来掌握在我们手里,我们不能让它们失望。一起行动起来,拯救北极熊!
