Yes, I saw that too...climate change is very real...it's very obvious (not to mention heart-breaking) when wildlife has to move in with people because their
habitats are disappearing, & when you're dealing with hungry predators it gets dangerous. Polar bears look cute but I wouldn't want one for a room-mate.
It's not only the home turf that's disappearing...for some species it's their food supply. If we want to continue to share our planet with all these magnificent
creatures, we have to be willing to give a little....we need to make fewer humans because our population keeps growing exponentially, as does our need for
space & food & material goods....and we need to prioritize our environment....& we need to say "NO!" to greedy corporations that want to pollute & hog our
natural resources (like sucking up clean ground water so they can bottle & sell it for ridiculous profit, or fracking which risks much of our clean ground water).
It's difficult and disturbing but we actually NEED many more of these conversations...and most of all, we need good leadership and we need action. Last time
I checked, this planet is our only option. Time is not on our side to turn this around...this has to be a priority, not only for some countries but globally. Do we
care enough to make the necessary changes? I hope so...
