[1] Crockford has gained attention for her blog posts on polar bear biology, in which she argues that polar bears are not threatened by climate change ...
The key danger for polar bears posed by the effects of climate change is malnutrition or starvation due to habitat loss.Polar bears hunt seals from a platform of sea ice. Rising temperatures cause the sea ice to melt earlier in the year, driving the bears to shore before they have built sufficient fat reserves to survive the period of scarce food in the late summer and early fall.

He was a coauthor of the 2008 Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) Assessment and Update Status Report for polar bears. From 2004 to 2008, he was also manager ...
The bears’ success has left scientists with new questions about the species’ future in a warming world. Polar bears, which typically rely on sea ice for habitat and as platforms for hunting ...
International Polar Bear Day is organized by Polar Bears International to raise awareness about the impact of global warming and reduced sea ice on polar bear populations. [3] The day encourages people to find ways to reduce their carbon output, such as by turning down their thermostat or driving less. [4]
