We get cool winters and warm summers … well warmish! Other climate zones are very different to ours. A Polar climate is very, very cold and dry, but with lots of ice and snow, as it’s too cold ...
Polar bears will be wiped out by the end of the century unless more is done to tackle climate change, a study predicts. Scientists say some populations have already reached their survival limits ...
The Arctic tundra has historically helped reduce global emissions. But rising temperatures and wildfires in the region are changing that, scientists say.
Some polar bears face starvation as the Arctic sea ice melts because they are unable to adapt their diets to living on land, scientists have found. The iconic Arctic species normally feed on ...
However other researchers say the impacts of climate change on polar bears would differ, depending on location. "It is likely polar bears will disappear from areas where sea ice will be lost in ...
All this is crucial as climate change leads to shrinking ice coverage, which leaves polar bears’ preferred meal of seals further out of reach. Ice-free seasons have also extended, which means ...
In a climate simulation at 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures, most of the change in climate was driven by the changes in the polar ice sheets, and in the 4.0°C scenario many tipping points ...
It's no secret that polar bears in the Arctic are suffering as a result of changing conditions due to climate change, but a ...
