Well, global warming is affecting the whole planet in the air/on land/in the oceans & the seas.it's causing them to get warmer. In fact, it's getting so warm so fast that plant & animal life are having trouble keeping up; life like algae and corals are dying. Warm water is speeding up the melting process of Antarctica and the Arctic. Polar bears & other polar life are running out of land to walk on and rest on. Having a nice warm global temperature keeps glaciers/ice from advancing and causing an ice age; but too warm & it melts away all of that frozen fresh water. Which could close the ocean currents which bring warm water from the equator to the polar regions; and raise ocean levels up 40 feet. Water rises even more when it becomes warmer because it causes the water to expand.

What are the seasonal patterns of weather and climate in polar regions?
well, in the polar regions, it hardly ever gets warm so you could say that cold temperatures is one pattern that would be in polar regions

How are polar and tropic regions?
polar regions are in areas surrounded by poles or frigid zones, climate in these areas are cooler as they receive far less intensity from solar radiation, tropical regions are closer to the equator of the earth and therefore the climate in these areas are warmer

What are people doing to protect the polar bear?
Polar bears are endangered because of poaching and climate change. Animal protection groups are moving some bears to colder regions while other continue to monitor them.
