Study: Climate Change Extending Ice-Free Period Threating Polar Bears in Canada's Hudson Bay

Reported 7 months ago

International scientists warn that if global warming exceeds the limits set by the Paris Climate Agreement, polar bears in Canada's Hudson Bay region could face extinction by the mid-21st century. The study published in Communications Earth and Environment reveals that human activities have already extended the ice-free period in Hudson Bay by a month over the past decade, affecting the polar bears' hunting and survival abilities. Researchers predict dire consequences if temperatures rise by 2 degrees Celsius, leading to the disappearance of polar bears in different parts of the region.
