Polar Bear Blog – Ice Free Days

In normal speak, that basically means a late freeze up is good for bears! I mean I sure have been seeing a lot of subadults running around these past few years… who knows maybe some mothers weaned their cubs at 1.5 years again – wouldn’t that be somethin’!

The result is a maelstrom of disruptions of the global climate that threaten the stability of every human civilization and natural ecosystem, as well as enormous damage costs.
