Food For Thought: Climate Change


This viral video of a starving polar bear gives a terrifying glimpse into what climate change actually looks like. This is the story behind this video:

Photographer Paul Nicklen took the footage of this solitary polar bear while on a trip for the conservation group Sea Legacy. They found the bear on land, not it’s usual hunting grounds of sea ice. It clearly looks sick and hungry – it’s so skinny. The bear limped around looking for food while Nicklen followed it with the camera. He posted it online just recently, because he wanted the world to see what it looks like to watch climate change decimate  a species.
