threatens the long-
term survival of all
creatures on Earth,
from polar bears to
sea turtles to
migratory birds to
humans.” –Peter
Fashing.
Is Global Warming a Threat?
3. Global warming has
been a threat to us for
about the last
century. The rapid
burning of fossil
fuels have ruined the
environment and
caused the polar ice
to melt.
Background Information
4. The Main Idea
Even though some
people say that global
warming does not pose
a threat to us, it has
actually jeopardized
Earth's environment,
and is causing many
animals to be added to
the endangered species
list.
5. Is Global Warming Even Real?
Some people don’t believe that global
warming is even there, but global warming
is an issue that is making a big impact in
our world, especially the Earth’s polar
regions.
6. We Have to Change Our Ways!
Someone could
argue that all of the
Arctic ice won’t
completely melt
away in the NEAR
future, but it still
could eventually, if
we don’t change our
ways soon.

8. The Water is Rising
“Sea levels are
expected to rise
between 7 and 23
inches by the end of
the century, and
continued melting at
the poles could add
between 4 and 8
inches”. – National
Geographic

10. What’s the Effects?
The melting of the Arctic ice has
unfortunately killed many of the land
mammals that live there.
11. Swim Farther!
Polar bears are
having to swim
farther distances in
between ice caps,
causing them to get
easily exhausted
and drown.
12. Population and Health Dwindling
“Population density of polar bears in one
intensively studied population in Hudson Bay,
Canada, declined by 22 percent over the past
decade alone. Even those at Hudson Bay that
remain alive have suffered from inadequate
nutrition – surviving bears were found to be 15
percent thinner on average than bears in this
population were only a few decades ago”. –Peter
Fashing.

14. Global warming is a
growing threat to the
world we live in. Due to
melting ice, polar bears
and other Arctic animals
have been driven out of
their habitat, and masses
of them have died as a
result. We should try to
stop this worldwide
heating to prevent the
extinction of many
living creatures.
Conclusion
15. The environment we live in is a very delicate and
complex place, and could crumble if its perfect
balance is broken. We should try to stop this
worldwide heating to prevent the extinction of
many living creatures. Do you think we can stop
it before it’s too late?
