Sir David Attenborough warns the end of polar bears by 2030s and ANOTHER major pandemic unless we tackle climate change
SIR DAVID Attenborough has warned that polar bears could go extinct and ANOTHER major pandemic could hit if we don’t tackle climate change.
In the decade beginning in 2030, after years of deforestation and the illegal burning in the Amazon basin, the world’s biggest rainforest could be reduced by 75 per cent. It is quite possible that one year, the summer would be just that little bit longer, and the cubs born that year will be so small that they cannot survive their first polar winter.This means that the polar bear, who relies on the northern sea ice to hunt seals, will begin to die off."Pregnant females, drained of their reserves, were now giving birth to smaller cubs.
Sir Attenborough predicts that vast crop failure will strike in the 2080s which will bring another pandemic.
