The world population of the polar bear is around 22000. The jury is still out on the global warming theory, as there is recent evidence (From NASA) that it may not be as big a problem as once thought.

How do polar bears cause global warming?

Polar bears do not cause global warming. In fact, polar bears are affected by global warming due to the shrinking of their sea ice habitat. The loss of sea ice reduces their hunting grounds and threatens their survival.


How will global warming effect polar ice caps?

Global warming is causing polar ice caps to melt at an accelerated rate, leading to rising sea levels and loss of habitat for polar animals such as polar bears and penguins. The melting ice caps also contribute to further warming as the reflective surface is replaced by dark ocean water that absorbs more heat from the sun.


How many polar bears die each year not due to global warming?

Bears have no predators other than man. They are not being killed by disease. So apart from global warming the only other way they die is by hunting.Hunting of polar bears is allowed to native groups in all the countries around the Arctic Circle. There is a quota allowed. In 2011 the quota for Canada is 500 bears. In 2011 in Russia the quota was set to zero. No bears were allowed to be hunted.


How many polar bears have died because of global warming in the last decade?

Nobody is exactly sure how many polar bears die a day from global warming. As of 2006, the IUCN stated that the population of polar bears had declined more than 30% in the last 45 years, due mostly to global warming. In 2008, there were estimated to be 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the wild.As the Arctic ice shrinks, the polar bears' habitat becomes threatened, as do the bears.


What animals will be affected by global warming first?

Animals in polar regions, such as polar bears, penguins, and Arctic seals, are already being impacted by global warming due to melting ice caps. Other vulnerable species include corals, sea turtles, and certain bird species like puffins and albatrosses that rely on specific habitat conditions that are being altered by climate change.

When we burn gas that is produced from fossil fuel, this causes our world getting in a danger situation causing global warming. Global warming causes the polar bears to drown and it makes the world hotter.


Why are polar bears a cause of global warming?

Polar bears are not a cause of global warming. They are being affected by climate change in that their habitat is decreasing in size (as the sea ice is melting).


Can you stop global warming from killing polar bears?

Probably not. We have only begun to act to stop global warming, and what the world has done so far is nowhere nearly enough. Polar bears are probably dying already. See the related question below.
