Josh Duhamel Gives Support To Polar Bears | The Celebrity Truth

“I’m blown away by the beauty of seeing these awesome creatures up close and personal,” Duhamel explained. “I wanted to see the effects of climate change and confront the contradictory claims about polar bears first-hand. The plight of the polar bear is a symbol of what’s going on globally.”

After exploring the animals in their natural habitat, Duhamel added, “In Los Angeles especially, we have got to travel more efficiently. Reducing electricity as much as possible, and eating locally-grown, organic food are easy actions to take for most of us.”

UK: OAPs hit out as winter deaths soar

PENSIONERS condemned the government on Thursday for failing to prevent the "continuing disgrace" of tens of thousands of extra winter deaths among the elderly.

New figures from the Office of National Statistics show a shocking 7 per cent rise in the number of people who died last winter from illnesses linked to cold weather.

There were almost 20,000 "winter deaths" of elderly people aged 75 and over and 5,900 deaths among younger people between December 2007 and March 2008, that were caused mainly by respiratory diseases.

Bronchitis and pneumonia arising from influenza were among the main causes of death, the Office of National Statistics said.

National Pensioners Convention official Neil Duncan-Jordan was outraged by the figures.

"Since new Labour came to power, 250,000 people have died from the cold who didn't need to," he stormed.

"If that level of deaths had been caused by terrorist attacks, we would be going to war right now."
