Polar bear boards ship to campaign for help

You know things are getting pretty serious when a polar bear has to board a ship to make the world aware of its plight. Listen, what exactly are you meant to do when your ice is melting, politicians just will not listen and governments are fannying about as to whether or not you are officially endangered.

Here's what you do, you drive up to Washington, take your boat off your trailer, put on your finest polar bear suit and set sail on the pond outside the Department of the Interior. However, just as you are about to splice the anchor and hoist the main sail, the rozzers arrive and you're busted. Balls...

The point being made by rear admiral polar bear is that whilst the Department of Interior drag there feet on the protection of polar bears, they're going full steam ahead with plans to drill for oil deep in the polar bear's habitat. Oil leases are quickly opening up in the Chukchi Sea and the oil companies are like shit round a fly to obtain licenses to drill.

It's expected that, if things continue on the same path, by 2050 two-thirds of the polar bears currently roaming the arctic will be extinct.
