The impact of the climate crisis is becoming more and more obvious to humans and their animal neighbors. But among all species, polar bears might be some of the hardest hit.

A polar bear was spray-painted with graffiti. Experts fear it won't surviveThe bears rely on sea ice for nearly every aspect of their survival: It's where they hunt seals, travel, make dens and mate. So the earlier in the season the ice begins to melt, the less time they have to eat and procreate.The findings were outlined in a new study published in Ecological Applications.

" Hide Caption 17 of 17"Climate-induced changes in the Arctic are clearly affecting polar bears," study author Kristin Laidre, professor of aquatic and fishery sciences at the University of Washington, said in a statement."They are an icon of climate change, but they're also an early indicator of climate change because they are so dependent on sea ice."Read MorePolar bears are considered a vulnerable species, one level below"endangered.

The 'Climate Scam'! The truth is that there are More Polar Bears than ever before. People, Don't believe this B.S., the Left has a 'God Complex' and a Sickness for Power, the Power to Control Others. And the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Riiight!

People who don’t believe that climate change is real have to be the dumbest people on Earth. All they have to do is open their eyes.

Holy hell Polar Bears can realize when NOT to bring a baby in the world too bad we cant get HUMANS to think that far ahead

Then why are their numbers increasing?

I been hearing this since the 70’s

Climate has changed fii ou r billions of years. There is no crisis. We didn’t destroy the planet in a century. Handing the govt money won’t change the weather. Get off ur asses n go clean a beach.

Maybe its because there like dogs or somthing When it get warmer the loose weight and fur

realDonaldTrump teachable moment.

CNN lies.

💔

Of course racist cnn focuses on the whitest animal on the planet. What about black bears losing their homes to deforestation?

Let the lying begin

This is beyond sad.

We must incite change 🌎

What polar bears, they were all gone by 2016.. Al Gore wouldn’t lie would he?

All we need is snow in Mexico then our president will believe the science.. 🤯

What is the answer? Will every factory in the USA close down laying off thousands of taxpayers? Will all the energy making companies close down? Then all the workers that are left will have to pay the taxes while politicians pay nothing for being idiots.

TOO MANY WHITE BEARS, WE NEED MORE BLACK AND BROWN BEARS!!!!!!!

GretaThunberg do something about it!

This from the crew for Michael Avenatti. Remember that

AlyshaBAngel 😪💔

No, CNN is hardest hit. 'Data from conservation groups and the government show that the polar bear population is roughly five times what it was in the 1950s and three or four times what it was in the 1970s...' There is no climate crisis.

🙏

No ;-;

Fake news. Polar bear population is healthier than ever

Blah blah blah. And blah.

Fake News

BS Their numbers are higher.

Y’all hear this, right? Polar bears.

morgfair Why would you have babies if you cannot feed them....maybe people should take note.

We have bears in North America , hell even the bears don’t like the freakin harsh cold , that’s why they hibernate.

Maybe it’s because there’s too many of them fighting over the same resources...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lies.
