If glaciers melt then what would happen to polar bears?

Question

i know they'll die but EXACTLY from what???

i know this is stupid of me to ask but i just need to reassure myself

Answer 1

they'll die...

Answer 2

the polar bears won't be dying off anytime soon.

I live in Alaska, i think i should know. There are more polar bears now than there have been in the last 10 years.

Answer 3

If glaciers melt so entirely as to cause the polar bears' habitat to disappear - I think the question should be: What will happen to us in the resulting floods, hurricanes, climate changes etc. We will become endangered :)

Answer 4

They would die because they use the ice as a staging point, from which,to dive and hunt.  No ice, no where to dive from, then it would be much harder to hunt.  Therefore, starvation is what they die from.
