Apparently in the 38 years of satellite imagine the Arctic ice caps are lower than they have ever been.

%26quot;Summer sea ice in Alaska last year shrunk to about 1.65 million square miles last year, the lowest level in 38 years of satellite record-keeping and nearly 40 percent less ice than the long-term average between 1979 and 2000. Some climate models have predicted the Arctic will be free of summer sea ice by 2030. A U.S. Geological Survey study predicted polar bears in Alaska could be wiped out by 2050.%26quot;

You asked for interesting facts about polar bears. One interesting fact is there are only estimated to be between 20,000 to 25,000 polar bear left. Compare this to the over 6,500,000,000 people in the world it should be obvious that a gross imbalance has taken place. 20% 1 Vote 0% 0 Votes

I just watched %26quot;An Inconvenient Truth%26quot; (Al Gore%26#039;s movie) and there are some interesting facts about polar bears in it and about how many are drowning because of the melting of the glaciers due to global warming.
I would check that out if i were you. 20% 1 Vote
