One of the biggest concerns highlighted in the United Nation's recent climate report was the risk of mass extinction of animals. One of the animals most at risk are polar bears.
Predictions gradually get worse if we miss that goal. At two degrees Celsius, animals like polar bears, penguins and seals will be at serious threat of extinction. The sea ice these animals live and thrive on is melting very quickly with parts of ice buildup in the Arctic reaching record lows. "The time when these land-locked bears have the chance to go out from the packed ice and hunt, which is the only time they get to eat, is getting shorter and shorter," he said."Obviously that's keeping bears from getting to their food."
