Polar bears face starvation risk in longer ice-free periods in Arctic – study

Polar bears in Canada's Hudson Bay are at risk of starvation due to climate change, which is lengthening periods without Arctic Sea ice.
Despite their efforts to find food on land, extended ice-free periods are causing the bears to lose weight and increasing their risk of starvation.
To ensure the long-term survival of polar bear populations, it is crucial to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming.

Polar bears face starvation risk in longer ice-free Arctic periods, scientists warn

Polar bears are at risk of starvation in longer ice-free seasons in the Arctic, despite their ability to adapt their diet and behaviour, scientists have warned. Climate change is increasing the time some areas of the Arctic are ice-free each year, forcing polar bears– which are specialised to use the ice to hunt their preferred food of seals – to spend longer on land in those regions. Polar bears monitored by scientists in a new study led by re…
