Polar bears evolved during the last Ice Age...isn't Global Warming now HELPING them?

Question

People complain that Global Warming is destroying the polar bear habitat.

During the last Ice Age, brown bears got caught in the Ice flows and had to adapt...and they eventually became polar bears.

Aren't we helping them out by contributing to Global Warming now?

I say we must free the Polar Bears from the ice that has imprisoned them for hundreds of thousands of years!

Answer 1

Yeah, polar bears, like grizzlies and their kin, now have millions of acres of new land upon which to live and hunt.  Thanks to the melting of those deadly glaciers.

Answer 2

Nice thought. unfortunately because the ice is melting the Polar bears are wandering in land and being SHOT! Not really ideal is it.

Answer 3

Polar bears are excellent swimmers but They have their limits,

the distances are very great ,between the floating bits of ice ,and are getting more all the time and the ice islands are getting less.

many get trapped by the spaces of water so to speak ,

Also wading through slush is very exhausting ,And ice does not support them any more so they are crawling half swimming ,very sad to see

they cannot walk and pounce as they did to hunt seal before .

the time span between meals is to great to keep cubs alive or maintain energy for long distance swimming

Watch a BBC documentary by David Attenborough

he did about 15 movies called Planet earth

the ones called Future ,the ice worlds ,from Pole to Pole ,

covers the poles and shows footage of polar bears swimming

And they can drown eventually from exhaustion

you have to see the film to realize the distances involved.

Also some very impressive stuff with polar bears attacking Walruses in desperation ,because their normal game and normal way of hunting ,of seals on ice is gone.

So Hunger is also doing the bears in.

this goes with the changes in Habitat

If the bears are near land they may adjust and start hunting people, the next game on their list

But this may cause someone to be upset and they will get shot instead.One wonders why Humans are the least in danger of extinction.on the contrary

NOTE

All 15 movies are great these people have been making nature movies for many years and they show and talk about the differences of what they see today ,

compared with before

They say whole migrations of millions of animals in the tundras have disappeared in just 5 years.

And everywhere they go people talk about certain species not being there any more..

thousands of species of frogs have gone ,world wide.

this is very significant because they are indicators of pollution because their skin is very absorbent,and they are sensitive to environmental changes.

Answer 4

Global warming is taking the Polar Bear’s food source away like making ethanol out of corn is going to take ours away. Humans have this bad habit of breeding too fast and too often and everyone of them little kiddies have to have a car that adds to the green house effect. If those breeders don’t start poking fun and quit being so serious about it why there just is no hope at all for them seal eating Polar Bears.

Answer 5

NO they are all dying becaus there is no ice for them to site on because the ice is all melting

Answer 6

Yes! If he has to change habits again he will become a bipolar bear.
