Polar Bears Struggle as Sea Ice Declines

A new study shows that polar bears are spending less time on sea ice, leading them to fast longer, become thinner and have fewer cubs.

During Low-Ice Seasons, Some Polar Bears Are Turning to Glacier Ice

As warming temperatures melt Arctic sea ice, glaciers act as supplemental habitat for a group of southeast Greenland polar bears looking to hunt during the low-ice season.

Female and young walruses depend on disappearing Arctic sea ice for food sources

A new study shows that disappearing sea ice is a significant element of the food web supporting female walruses and their dependent young in the Arctic's Chukchi Sea. Researchers were able to trace biomarkers that are unique to algae growing within sea ice to connect marine mammals with a food...

Walrus Sea-Ice Habitats Melting Away | U.S. Geological Survey

Habitat for the Pacific walrus in the Chukchi Sea is disappearing from beneath them as the warming climate melts away Arctic sea ice in the spring, forcing the large mammals to “haul out” of the ocean and temporarily live on land.

Nonsense! Recent satellite photos show millions of happy polar bears enjoying a Coke, while sunning themselves on their icebergs.

Humans need to take a step back and give the bears their space.

No thanks. This is what they do when you give them space.

They are kinda sloppy eaters too. No manners.

You've got some funny math. 2023 - 2016 = 7. Does a report published in December of 2019 expire in January of 2020?

The decade started in 2020.

The Myth That the Polar Bear Population Is Declining | Jon Miltimore

Data from conservation groups and the government show that the polar bear population is roughly five times what it was in the 1950s and three or four times what it was in the 1970s when polar bears became protected under international treaty.

"A polar bear’s life seems simple enough: eat seals, mate, and raise cubs. But a recent study shows some subpopulations of polar bears are struggling to complete these essential tasks because of declining concentrations of Arctic sea ice."

You seem to be completely unaware how polar bears and walrus eat, mate and reproduce. And speaking out when you have to know you're ignorant on the topic is not a wise strategy.

No, that would be you who is unaware.

 

[Crick]

No, that would be you who is unaware.

Are you of the impression that polar bears do not require sea ice for hunting and mating?

Are you of the impression that polar bears do not require sea ice for hunting and mating?

No, they don't. The Arctic has been completely ice free several times during the time that polar bears have roamed the Earth.

They are still here.

DOH!
