Polar Bears Roam NYC Streets
This captivating commercial from the Environmental Defense Fund shows two polar bears walking the streets of New York. The message of the advertisement is to take the subway, not drive. Undoubtedly you are familiar with the theory that carbon monoxide from cars contributes to global warming which in turn melts ice which causes polar bears to drown (that's the condensed version).
There is a great amount of speculation about this theory. I've also seen whacked out suggestions that we move all of the polar bears to Antarctica (because moving non-indigenous predators into an area is ALWAYS a good idea). I also know that a polar bear would not hesitate to turn me into mush. Just ask Conrado Mones or any other idiot who got too close to the cuddly white creatures. Yet, the polar bear remains the poster child of global warming and this commercial is pretty darn effective.
