Polar bears may or may not live; however, the question of global warming is likely when you look at the past history of the Earth's tilting. I believe that every 10 to 13 thousand years, the Earth's axis actually moves, which would cause drastic changes in global temperatures all over the world- not just the pollution and ozone effects that you hear about on the news- this is a natural cycle that the Earth goes through.

On average, sea-ice is retracting each year because of the warming due to the Greenhouse effect. This is creating major problems for polar bears which commonly feed on the ice pack.
Populations may be able to focus in on areas on land where there is currently food. However warming will bring competing species, i.e., wolves, black bears and grizzlies from further down south into these areas, not to mention more people. In addition the polar bears will be faced with new diseases. It is possible that the polar bear populations will adapt to these challenges.
Ecologists have to play a role, by dealing with dire threats and maintaining habitat.

Global Warming is affecting our world believe it or not. The heat tr aped in the earth is melting the polar ice caps and causing the ocean to rise. If the Polar bears can survive the extra heat well yay but it will be getting hotter.

it's no longer a question of "is global warming real", it's a proven fact that our world is getting hotter by the year/decade due to pollutants. As for polar bears, without their natural habitat, yes they will die off.

believe it or not, polar bears are much smarter than ecologist lead you to believe. they get along quite well off of the ice pack. In fact the areas where they are drilling for oil is where the highest concentration of bears are found. opportunistic feeders look for boundary zones, that is where the food is.
