A kid's prize-winning poem about the alleged plight of the polar bears!

From this article:
As I lie here in the warmth of my mother
Hidden in the darkness of our den
The world outside comes to an end
The melting snow will soon fall into our path
Our special place will be no more
The number of us will plummet
Straight to the core of our dying planet
So save us and we will always be at peace
Save the polar bears
Here's a quick rebuttal poem that I just cobbled together:
Polar bears have been around 200,000 years
And they still appear to be thriving
They survived the Holocene climatic optimum
Between 5,000 and 9,000 years ago
When it was a lot warmer than now
So the idea that a bit more warming will kill them off soon
Is a non-starter
Especially since the recent trend is towards
Cooling
