If the story states he took every animal that could walk on land, without modern technology to keep a polar bear captive like at the zoo’s how did Noah keep Polar Bears alive ?
Even though the polar bears were originally just white bears living in the Caribbean, until in about the 12th century (A.D.) a hurricane blew large chunks of the island up to northern Canada, where the bears had to adapt to live’. Where did this come from Bagalaga… The Polar Bear evolved about 250’000 years ago from the Brown Bear which is found in warmer climates and around the Northern hemisphere. Polar Bears evolved to fill the niche that other predators were not able to fill and take advantage of, the large abundance of prey items in the Arctic. Polar Bears due have thick blubber layers, but also have black skin which helps to absorb sunlight or heat. The cool thing is their fur which is hollow, and translucent, it works like a magnifying glass creating heat as the light hits it, being hollow it insulates the bears also, and gives them buoyancy when they are in the water. The warmth that is created by the unique fur is absorbed by the dark skin and stored in the body fat. Many layers help you stay warmer. Polar Bears are the youngest of the bear species, and are the largest of the land based carnivores. They are the only bear species that are true carnivores by the way. And yes global warming is having a major impact on Polar Bears and their number one prey item the ringed seal.

Why are you so concerned about the planet?
Yes, humans have most certainly contributed to countless atrocities against the natural world. Overpopulation, destruction of tropical and temperate forests and/or rainforests, smog, excessive greenhouse gasses, the Pacific garbage patch, animal extinctions, etc etc etc.
(The thing about greenhouse gasses, however….is that they’re produced naturally, both on Earth and on Venus! We may be adding to them, but they’d certainly be around. Life seemed to be just fine during the years of primordial Earth!)
BUT, we have to keep in mind that the ozone CAN repair itself. The problem is that we’re just ripping it apart too quickly. The whole stuff about the magnetic poles…well, they CONSTANTLY reverse themselves naturally over thousands of years.
The planet has warmed and cooled itself without human interference of any kind on several occasions.
Is it sad that the ice caps are melting? Yes. Is it sad that polar bears are being stranded? Yes. But frankly, dozens of seals die in the artic when ice freezes over and they have to create little niches of air for them to breathe until the ice thaws. That’s just natural. I’m sure those images of sad polar bears on floating ice caps is an occurrence that happened long before we began to turn an eye to global warming. I’ve even heard that polar bear numbers are increasing.
That being said, I’m definitely doing my best to aid conservation efforts. I don’t take this lightly, as I respect all life. But again…I think we need to be realistic.
We’re being short-sighted. Even with the mindset of reversing our mistakes. Polar bears are not going to exist forever, with or without our influence. The climate change isn’t necessarily bad for our planet…it’s bad for US. The natural world will just simply adjust to whatever happens. We’re the ones who get concerned.
Well, what if the planet really is dying, or will die?
Keep in mind that it has a lifespan of less than 5 billion years left. That’s because we have a middle-aged sun. That sun is likely going to expand and burn all life and atmosphere off of our planet…and whatever humans did to help or to harm the environment won’t change a damn thing.
So. I’m compassionate and definitely understand the importance of wildlife and environmental awareness and conservation….I just think that we blame ourselves too much.
What are your thoughts?
(This is put under society and culture because there’s a genuine ‘green’ revolution going on right now. It’s as much of a cultural issue as it is a geological one.)
