Consequences of Climate Change: Polar Bear Population Shrinking Due to Arctic Sea Ice Melt
2016-09-26 04:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Alert! The melting sea ice in the Arctic is leaving polar bear hungry and their population dwindling in numbers. According to a report from Earth Sky, polar bears have taken the most drastic hit from the melting Arctic sea ice due to climate change. Polar bears mainly get their fat and nutrients from eating seals, and the ice in the Arctic has greatly helped the slow-moving bears to catch the much-faster seals by ambushing the latter through the ice. However, as the Arctic sea ice continues...
Arctic melt shrinks polar bears chances
2016-09-25 11:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The world of the polar bear is shrinking everywhere. New research by scientists in the US confirms that each of the 19 known populations of Ursus maritimus is increasingly affected by the earlier sea ice melt in the Arctic spring, and the later arrival of ice every autumn. The finding is hardly a shock, as there have been warnings from conservationists about such things for years, with the polar bear becoming an icon of climate change concerns. And in most cases of species threat there are winners...

Polar bears biggest threat is ice loss
2016-08-11 05:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Earth Sky: Prior to the 1970s, hunting decimated polar bear populations across the Arctic. The international community has made strides in protecting the iconic species from over-harvesting through conservation agreements, which have helped the species start to recover. However, a review paper published in Polar Research in July, 2016 suggests that the road to recovery is far from over, as ice loss now replaces poaching as the most pressing threat to polar bear survival in the Barents Sea area, north of Norway...
