This young polar bear is the poster boy for global warming. Sitting alone on a tiny piece of ice, surrounded by water is a symbol of global warming and starvation. Bears need to hunt seals on pack ice. Since there is no pack ice, the bears must go without food for months at a time, leading them to a very sad end.
