They will eat them if they can catch them.
One man commited suicide by jumping into the bear pit at Stanley park zoo (Vancouver, Canada). They gave up on trying to recover his body. They tried hitting the bears with high pressure water hoses - but polar bears like that sort of thing.

∙ 6y agowell humans contribute to global warming and global warming melts ice that polar bears rely on for survival and ...for example :
killed for fur
habitat (ice) threatened by global warming(melting ice)
less prey to eat (water pollution)
captivity (zoos)
Polar bears are not effected by humans except for the very few cultural tribal hunts and some depredation when polar bears attack human settlements.
Polar bears can swim tens of miles or more to find better hunting grounds. Melting ice does not effect their survival. The world polar bear population has not changed since hunting became limited.

It would set the eco system out of wack.
