How does the climate change affect the polar bear?

Answer 1

The polar sea ice is shrinking each year. Each year the winter sea ice melts faster. Polar bears need to bulk up in winter by eating seals. Now they have a shorter time for feeding. The Hudson Bay bears are forced onto the land during summer where they compete for food and living space with humans and other animals. Food shortages mean that bears are weaker, fewer cubs are born and those that do are more likely to die.
its melting the ice at the poles, destroying the bears homes

Answer 2

Polar bears would be forced to migrate further south during the summer months. Some groups claim that if the Arctic should loss substantial amounts of ice, that polar bears themselves could become endangered at some point in the future. No one wants this to happen.

Answer 3

There has been no impact on polar bears from climate change. In fact, the Arctic ice pack has returned to coverage not seen in decades. Polar bears could adapt to shrinking ice coverage, as they have in times past.

Answer 4

Well, it affects their environment which then affects them. Because the environment is just ice, due to global warming, the temperature goes higher, if it just increases 2-4 degres Celsius, the ice melts and the polar bear will have no home.

Answer 5

Polar bears spend their lives traveling to hunt for marine mammals like seals. In the summer the sea ice melts, which makes it nearly impossible for them to hunt seals.

Global warming is a problem because it makes the summer warmer and longer, and therefor polar bears have less time to hunt each year. The warmer it gets, the more polar bears starve to death.

Answer 6

they wud have no habitat, its being destroyed

Answer 7

Polar bears hunt for seals from floating pieces of ice. Warmer temperatures result in less floating ice, and this makes it harder for polar bear to hunt.

Answer 8

to warm for bears
