CLASS RESPONSE NUMBER FOUR: 'Artic Tale' helps us realize there might not be an Artic soon edition

Recently during class, we saw a movie entitled 'Artic Tale'. It was about the life of two types of animals in the Artic and how sometimes their melting world forces them to intrude on the other's life. Queen Latifah narrates the story on how global warming is making it harder for the animals in the colder parts of the world. On how it makes them do things in a different way than they have for years. For example, Nanu's mom has to force Nanu to separate earlier than supposed to because if they didn't separate both of them would die. Another reason is that Auntie had to sacrifice herself to the male polar bear to let Seela and her mother escape. If there was ice and it wasn't all water the Auntie probably wouldn't have died. On the other hand, this helps the polar bear population increase, even though that might lead to a decrease in walruses and other animals. At the end of the film, it's stated that if this lifestyle keeps going on, and if people don't care there won't be any Artic ice by 2040.

Think about it.
