[But he polar bears are happy with more snow and ice now.]
That was always BS propaganda. More snow and ice have always been bad for predators. It reduced the population density (i.e. availability) of prey, since fewer could survive in a given area. For predators, reduced prey density meant more periods of hunger between meals, with death from starvation a bigger risk.
