Are polar bears dying of global warming?

Answer 1

It's difficult to get an exact figure for all polar bear numbers but some bears are almost definitely dying because of global warming.

Rising temperatures cause Arctic sea ice to melt earlier in the year, so the bears are driven to go ashore without sufficient fat reserves to survive late summer and early autumn. Reduction of sea ice means they have to swim more, making them weaker. Some drown. Thinner sea ice makes it harder for them to catch seals. Poorly nourished female bears don't build suitable dens, don't produce as many cubs, and cubs that are born have a lower survival rate.

The Western Hudson Bay subpopulation of polar bears are one of the best studied. Warming temperatures mean that ice-floe breakup in western Hudson Bay now happens three weeks earlier than it did 30 years ago, so the bears' feeding season is similarly shortened. The average weight of single female bears was about 290 kg in 1980. In 2004 the average weight was 230 kg. Bear population in Western Hudson Bay declined 22% between 1987 and 2004.

Answer 2

It is difficult to attribute specific deaths to global warming. As glaciers vanish, it seems likely deaths will result from the loss of rivers that serve as drinking water. Global warming will cause (and may already have caused) intensified storm activity, but it is beyond our capability to attribute any specific storm to global warming. Sea level rise is a serious concern, but it will likely take decades for ocean levels rising as a result of ocean warming to affect more than small, low-lying mid-ocean islands. Droughts and heatwaves are difficult to specifically attribute to global warming, but will intensify in some areas and those can lead to deaths.

A:Global warming makes the sea rise, and when the sea rises, the water covers many low land islands. This is a big problem for many of the plants,When the plants and animals die, people lose two sources of food, plant food and animal food. They may also lose their homes. As a result, they would also have to leave the area or die. This would be called a break in the food chain, or a chain reaction, one thing happening that leads to another and so on. animals, and people on islands. Global warming is doing many things to people as well as animals and plants. It is killing algae, but it is also destroying many huge forests. The water covers the plants and causes some of them to die. When they die, the animals lose a source of food, along with their habitat.
yes
well, it could get so hot that we die. i also watched a movie that said it'll melt the icecaps and start the next ice age.

Answer 3

Polar bears are at risk due to global warming as it affects their sea ice habitat, impacting their ability to hunt for food effectively. The decline in sea ice reduces their access to prey such as seals, affecting their survival rates. Measures to address climate change are crucial to protect the polar bear population.

What is dying? Do you mean dieing? Are you talking about Polar Bears?
