Climate Central: Starving polar bears, icon of the climate change movement, may be able to adapt to an ice-free summer season in the Arctic after all. Polar bears have proven adept at finding food on land, according to new findings contradicting earlier research suggesting bears will starve without access to Arctic sea ice. Scientists have long thought that polar bears essentially starve during the summer, living off fat reserves until the sea ice returns and they can venture out to sea to capture their main...
As Arctic Ice Shrinks, Can Polar Bears Survive on Land?

National Geographic: Here's one possible summer menu for polar bears being forced to stay on land due to a lack of reliable sea ice: 60 snow goose egg clutches, 53 goslings, 63 adult geese, 3 caribou calves, and 3 adult caribou. Garnish with berries. Bon appétit. Linda J. Gormezano, an ecologist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, isn't a polar bear chef. But she has been figuring out what polar bears might have to eat to survive increasingly long ice-free seasons in the western part of Canada's...

CBC: Even a single polar bear can devastate all the eggs on a single island where birds such as common eiders nest. This unfortunate colony was visited by three bears at once. (Courtesy Steve Marson) Shrinking Arctic sea ice has left polar bears scrambling to find food, and they've taken to eggs in a big way, unfortunately for the birds. While some athletes may impress us by downing a mere dozen eggs for breakfast, a polar bear in the Northern Hudson Bay region can eat hundreds of seabird eggs in...

Hungry Polar Bears Eating Eggs, Decimating Nesting Birds, as Sea Ice Declines
2014-02-08 12:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Kos: The Arctic is the fastest warming region on earth. The polar bear, the iconic large mammal of the Arctic, is threatened by the warming-caused loss of Arctic sea ice because it hunts its primary prey, seals, from the ice. Climate change is forcing polar bears to change their diets from seals to bird eggs as summer sea ice retreats in the Arctic ocean. Hungry polar bears, unable to catch seals in the open Arctic ocean, have been observed devouring every egg on an island of nesting birds. One hungry...
