Polar Bears

Help Save the Polar Bears
My doodle for Google expresses how I want the world to pay attention to how Polar bears are on the verge of extinction and the great priorities we must take in order to stop this, such as stopping the increase in Global Warming.

Dear Alex Jordan,
I appreciate your passion for art but I’m less inclined to tolerate your uninformed and misguided beliefs about vicious Polar Bears and the theory of Global Warming. I see that you’re 15 years old, so I guess that you haven’t had a chance to learn that Polar Bears are, in fact, not on the “verge of extinction.” This isn’t your fault, really. If your only information about Polar Bears comes from the public school system and WWF commercials, then I can understand why you’re so concerned.

You will be very happy to know that the number of Polar Bears has been increasing for some time now (25% the past decade in Canada). Also, the amount of ice in the Arctic is within the average standard deviation. I’m sorry, given your public school background, that you probably don’t know what standard deviation is, though I’m quite sure you know all about condoms and that some people have two daddies. What I mean by “standard deviation” is that things are normal at the North Pole.

Also, you’ll be excited to learn that global temperatures have been trending cooler for the past decade. There hasn’t been any alarming shift in worldwide temperatures. I know that two years ago Nobel Prize winner and former Vice President Al Gore said the Arctic would be “ice free” in five years. Please don’t pay any attention to Gore; he was pro-life before he was pro-choice, pro-tobacco before he was anti-tobacco, and president before he wasn’t president. If history is any precedent, he’ll be a climate change skeptic before it’s all said and done.

If you’re looking for a new subject for your art I suggest a Google potato man. It would represent your state a lot better.

Sincerely,
Nemov
