Hi! Until quite recently most scientists I know agreed that we did not have conclusive evidence that climate change was directly harming polar bear populations.

Hi! Until quite recently most scientists I know agreed that we did not have conclusive evidence that climate change was directly harming polar bear populations. However, a recent study provided the first empirical evidence of that happening [0]. I hope you read and maybe change your mind about it!

- badmadrad 9y agoI don't have access to article but the keyword is "likely" in the abstract. And doesn't take away from the fact this article used a misleading video to bolster it's argument. Climate Change is real but understanding the impact is something that is still uncertain.
- astrodust 9y agoWhat's uncertain is how apocalyptically bad it's going to be on a scale of "society collapses" to "everyone dies", plus when that's going to happen on a time scale of "ten years" to "two hundred years". Every year they adjust their estimates things get worse.
