Global warming is having a devastating effect on polar bears. The ice is melting. Icebergs are the platform the bears use for hunting. There are reports of bears drowning because there was no place for them to climb up. There are reports of underweight bears. I love polar bears, panda bears, brown bears, teddy bears...any bear, any animal.
Here's an idea for those in charge of abating global warming. Make artificial icebergs for the polar bears. It is dangerous for a ship to hit an iceberg. One of the good things about global warming is the northwest passage is opening up. An artificial iceberg or platform wouldn't harm shipping. Most kids have a memory of diving from a diving platform. Why not make platforms for the bears? The platforms would have to be bright white in color. They can be filled with Styrofoam pieces, empty plastic jugs with the tops on....anything that would hold air. The outside would have to be of a tough rubber or similar material. Make lots of them and turn them out into the Arctic ocean. We would not have to monitor their location, like We do big icebergs. They can float at will. The polar bears will find them. If a ship hits one, it would be like hitting a hunk of Styrofoam with no damage done. I bet the bears fight over them.
