To: ProtectOurFreedom

Somebody help me out here.

It is a given that every animal requires a certain number of calories to survive. My understanding would be that in cold country, as the temperature decreases, more calories are required to maintain body heat. Conversely, as the temperature increases, less calories are required.

Now the “Warmests” would have us believe: warming temps = less ice = harder for bears to catch food. However, if the temps are increasing, bears will require less food.

My question is: how much less? Enough to cover the deficit of sea ice?

They make it through summer without ice.

Shame to drink a Coke with no ice....
