The Great Escape

Can’t Bear to Stand the Pain

Problems are faced constantly by living organisms. Either human or animal global warming is a global problem. The photo on http://www.flickr.com/photos/southen/2180883271/in/photostream/ (“The Great Escape”) shows how a bear (panda) is “leaning over the edge” of what appears to be a building. In other words the way of living for most animals is affected by different problems like global warming making them look for a new home. The endangerment of certain animals is due to a change in either weather patterns or the species bear are supposed to be on the top of the food chain which it is on top of the building, but if that’s true then why do bears die constantly? Well the fact that global warming affects their habitat like polar bears and the melting of ice, pandas with forest fires, and brown bears with the deforestation caused by carbon dioxide producing items. Trends in the temperature changes shown by (Kolbert, Elizabeth) in “The Climate of Man-II” shows that because of the increase of temperature, the rise of sea levels due to melting of Arctic ice shows that even though their lives are affected slowly, our lives are also affected at the same pace. The constant amounts of drowning would be the same as the bear jumping off of the ledge. I think that if we don’t act now their will not only be more than one bear on the top of that building you would also sea people on their. Why? Because we all live in the same planet and our use of technology affects the amount of greenhouse gasses therefore, causing great catastrophe within the planet and only the most powerful with authority will survive because of their roles in society.

Since buildings have floors, you can see social classes broken up and since bears are very dominant, they are on top of the animal kingdom but when their food is not able to be produced or be able to reproduce the roles in society change therefore, in order for survival we must also change our actions and lifestyles to accommodate others.
