Scientists from several institutions have found a direct link between greenhouse gas emissions and polar bear survival in a new study This pioneering research, published in the Journal Science, offers a comprehensive framework to measure the demographic impact of proposed greenhouse gas-emitting actions on polar bears. Historically, the Endangered Species Act had overlooked climate considerations due to an absence of quantifiable data linking specific emissions to polar bear survival. However, this new methodology bridges this gap, illuminating the connection between greenhouse gas emissions, the rising number of ice-free days, and the survival rates of polar bears. Alarmingly, the study also … Continue reading Polar Bear Survival: The Alarming Link to Greenhouse Gas Emissions
