Best Answer

because of the effect of global warming. the temperature of the earth increases therefore melts the polar caps.

The Arctic has seen some ice loss, although we have also seen record growth as of late. The Antarctic is still growing in terms of ice and according to the IPCC report, it is expected to keep doing so for many decades to come.

Polar Bears do not live in Alberta Discuss which 2 basic needs of a polar bear cannot be met in Alberta?

I'm not sure, but I think Alberta isn't cold enough for the polar bears. Also, there might not be enough ice caps in Alberta for the polar bears to live off of. People talk about how the polar bears are struggling to survive because global warming is melting all their ice caps.
