Arctic polar bears “face near-extinction within decades” warn scientists – BBC News
Arctic polar bears are facing near extinction by the end of the century, if the sea ice they depend on continues to disappear.
That’s the stark warning from a new study looking at the long term future of the bears.
Greenhouse gas emissions are contributing to the rapid melting of the polar bears’ frozen hunting grounds.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

🔍 Explore the Arctic Crisis: Polar bears, the well-known representations of the icy North, are dealing with hitherto unseen difficulties. Their hunting areas disappear with the melting ice, making it difficult for them to get food. 🙑 It serves as a sobering reminder of how vital climate action is.
🌱 Every individual has a vital role to perform. Minimise your carbon footprint, donate to environmental advocacy groups, and raise awareness of the Arctic ecosystem's precarious condition. Now is the moment to take action! 🌏♤️ #ClimateAwareness #ActForChange #PolarBearCrisis

Why is that a bad thing? polar bears kill and eat stuff. All they do stuff is kill stuff. That's scientific fact. Climate change may kill things. Polar bears definitely kill things. If polar bears die from global warming doesn't that save animal lives? don't polar bears stop evolution because they kill species. If anything had a chance in adapting to the environment of the north pole a polar bear would have eaten it before it had a chance. I don't really care if polar bears die. I'm disappointed because I want to see new species. otherwise evolution isn't real. Stuff going extinct can't be evolution. i need to see new stuff pop up. There must be a reason why that doesn't happen like mean old polar bears eating new species trying to develop kind of like microsoft does.

All lies, 30 to 50 thousand polar bears in the wild their numbers are growing in fact in a local community where polars inhabit the want to decrease there numbers. Don’t believe the globalists climate scandal believe what you can see through your own eyes

Turns out this is more disinformation! The polar bear population is booming. None of this is due to the invented climate crisis. We are being lied to, and the BBC are complicit.

The usual BBC propaganda that has no basis in the facts. The sea ice has been doing well in the last few years. A lot of polar bears have migrated to other areas and the seal populations have fluctuated, which they depend on, and this causes the bear population to vary too. Huw Edwards and the other presenters on the BBC should be ashamed of themselves for spreading this false picture.

Maybe if the polar bears farted less. Climate change wouldn't be an issue.

Victoria seems to have missed that the number of Polar bears is increasing. Only one population of Polar bears is decreasing.
The average global temperature has not changed in 7 years. But the Billion dollar global warming scheme can't admit that.

This is a steaming pile of crap! Polar Bears will float , or swim fifty, or more miles tracking food! They have hunted in this fashion since ice appeared at the poles!
This is nothing more than a ruse to get your money and more of your freedoms! Dont be taken in by these charlatans!
