This video was completed during my final quarter at the Art Institute of Philadelphia in the summer of 2009. My senior project was aimed at enlightening others to the harmful effects of global warming, specifically the impact on the polar bear population.

Many scientists believe that polar bears will become extinct within the next century if current climate conditions continue. As the polar ice caps continue to melt away, the threat level for polar bears increases. By the year 2050, two thirds of polar bears will die.
