Scientists link greenhouse gas emissions to polar bear population declines

Planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions pose a direct threat to the survival of polar bears — by limiting their access to the sea ice that serves as their hunting grounds, a new study has found.

During ice-free summer months, the bears must fast, which in worst-case scenarios mean adults could die and, before then, lose the ability to successfully raise cubs, according to the study, published Thursday in the journal Science.

The first-of-its-kind research quantifies the amount of ice-free days caused by specific amounts of emissions, as well as associated polar bear survival rates and declining trends in some subpopulations.

Correlation

It could as easily be blamed on the rise in transgenderism, or increased use of EV cars

During ice-free summer months, the bears must fast,

Nonsense.

You beat me to it. 😆

serious negative decline

I see what you did there.

I just heard a Scientist state that in many areas there is an overpopulation of Polar Bears.

[RetiredTexasVet]

It is. There are more polar bears and their numbers are increasing. Eco-freaks had to find an outlet stupid enough to spread their BS ... The Hill answered.

Susan Crockford is all you need to address polar bear propaganda:

last two TV clips I’ve seen of Gavin Newsom - the Hilary hurricane that never was, and some other story - he was wearing a jacket with a polar bear and a cap with one respectively. (of course, WWF exploited the bears/climate)

The “study” is bullsh**! Polar Bear numbers are increasing.

I don;t believe it, send all these scientists to live in tents with the polar bears for a year, when they report back in we will see what they have to say.

They will not report back. They will be polar bear crap.

From Reddit: "May 17, 2022 — On Svalbard, Norway, you are required to carry a gun by law whenever you leave the settlement due to the 300 resident polar bears"

Notice how they go to extremes to avoid actually making a count. And btw the premise about sea ice being necessary is false.
