Arctic and Antarctic wildlife are facing an escalating crisis as climate change rapidly melts vital sea ice. This ...

Rapidly melting sea ice driven by climate change, a crisis that has transformed the Arctic into a litmus test for our ...

The research by an international team of sea level and polar ice experts suggests that limiting warming to 2.7° Fahrenheit (1 ...

University of Toronto Scarborough researchers have directly linked population decline in polar bears living in Western Hudson Bay to shrinking sea ice caused by climate change. The researchers ...

Polar bears spend most of their time on the ice. Even in winter when temps drop to negative 60 degrees, and it’s dark all the time, they stay out in the ice and snow. That ice melts back a bit ...

More than polar bears are threatened in this changing gateway to the Arctic, where warmer waters melt sea ice earlier in the year and the open ocean lingers longer. For what grows, lives and ...

Polar bears face starvation as the Arctic sea ice melts and they're forced to spend more time on land, scientists have warned. The species normally feed on ringed seals that they catch on ice ...

“Wild polar bears live and hunt seals on Arctic sea ice,” said Dr. Karyn Rode, a research wildlife biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. “But as the ice melts in many parts of the ...

Polar bears, unable to thrive on land in Canada's Hudson Bay, are facing greater risk of starvation as Arctic ice melts and they endure longer ice-free seasons, researchers said. In a study ...

Polar bears use the ice that stretches across the ocean surface in the Arctic during colder months to help them access their main source of prey -- fatty ringed and bearded seals. In the warmer ...
