No matter if you believe in global warming by showing 2 polar bears on a little piece of ice like they are going to drown is ridiculous. I am sure many people will fall for this. I thought the polar bear population was increasing...

very slick & professional commercial, also very expensive to produce & distribute.
the quality of the commercial shows how much money is to be made from this kind of thing.
you cant drown a polar bear anymore than you can drown a walrus or seal but they do all eventually die so since there are approximately 25,000 alive that means there will be 25,000 dead polar bears to film within the next 30 years. so you can expect to see a lot of dead bear pictures in the future. most of these dead bears will be floating in the sea since any that die on land or ice are quickly eaten by other polar bears.
if you feel guilty & need to ease your conscience you can send a cash donation to me at the corner bar, I wont waste your money on slick commercials but will put it to good use freeing CO2 cruelly trapped as bubbles in beer.
 
It is sort of pathetic to go after an emotional string like that, but it is true that there will eventually be no polar bears. As global temperatures keep rising, polar bears will disappear.

And no, the population isn't increasing.
 
I'm sensing that there is a panic mode among "Global Warming" believers. This panic mode is brought on by record cold temperatures and record snow levels.

Now that it's getting colder, and that the climate hasn't warmed in over 10 years, the message has to go out that tugs of heartstrings to remind people that they still need to feel guilty because they have a nice warm home.

"Global Warming" would be long forgotten about if it weren't for the on going propaganda
 
I hate this commercial. Global warming is so much more serious than a few polar bears drowning. Personally I say shoot them all so people can stop focusing on them and start focusing on the real threats global warming poses--sea level rise, climate changes, desertification, etc.
 
The Polar Bear population does not need ice to survive, they can walk on dirt too. Yes, I agree, it is a lame add pointed at lame people.
 
this is gay u can spend all this money on saving them or the world just cut meat out of there diet go to meat is not green on peta's website!
 
Why do deniers keep asking this question? The answer is simple -- global warming is not the ONLY threat that polar bears face. If we only think in terms of absolutes, black and whites, then we will never have an understanding of the real world.

Hunting and poaching is also a threat to polar bears. By the 1970's hunting and poaching had almost wiped out the polar bears. The populations fell to as low as 10,000 in the entire world. Because of global cooperation (not an easy feat in the midst of the cold war) restrictions on hunting were placed, and polar bear populations have started to make a come back.

So, while some polar bear populations are increasing because of restrictions on hunting,[1] almost everyone agrees that the overwhelming threat to polar bear population today, is the loss of sea ice.[2][3] The Arctic is expected to be ice free during summer months by mid century. By some accounts this will happen as early as 2013.

Polar bears are considered marine animals because of their integral link to the sea and to sea ice. They live much of their lives on the sea ice; it serves as a moving platform from which they hunt seals – the mainstay of their diet.[4][5]

Because of loss of arctic sea ice, the US Government, Department of the Interior, predicts that Alaska's entire population of polar bears, along with 2/3 of the world's polar bears will be gone by the middle of the century.[6]

Currently, of the 19 polar bear populations, the two which where most affected by over hunting are still recovering. The two most studied populations are known to be declining. And there really isn’t enough information on the 15 other population to determine if the numbers are faring with climate change.
 
The polar bear population has been listed as endangered. They're also finding more and more polar bears swimming kilometers out from shore because the ice has melted. Drowning isn't so much an issue as food is. Polar bears depend on the ice as a platform for hunting seals. No ice, no food, no polar bears. The sad thing is that scientists predict that the arctic will be completely ice-free during the summer by 2013. I'd say that polar bears are in trouble.
