Climate change: 'Last refuge' for polar bears is vulnerable to warming

Part of the Arctic is nicknamed the “Last Ice Area,” because floating sea ice there is usually so thick that it’s likely to withstand global warming for decades.  The opening, documented by scientists aboard a German icebreaker, popped up in late July and August in the Wandel Sea north of Greenland.  Mostly it was due to a freak weather event, but thinning sea ice from decades of climate change was a significant factor, according to a study Thur…
