When and how did global warming start. Did it effect polar bears back then as much a it does now?

-Caleb

How much percent of polar bears are we going to save

One ting I am still wondering is why do they sad

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think polar bears will last even if we stop or slow down global warming and if we do how much longer will they last.

Hi everyone!

My name is Jenny Stern and I am a scientist at the University of Washington that studies polar bears. You all have asked some amazing questions!

I’ve done my best to answer some of them below:

Why do scientists want tracking devices on polar bears?

Understanding the movement pattern of an animal provides a lot of really interesting information. We can look at how long polar bears can swim, what food is available to them, and where they start their families. We can also see if where they spend their time changes as there is less and less ice available.

How polar bears catch seals -- do they break the ice or swim?

Polar bears catch seals on the ice. Seals are very fast swimmers so catching a seal in water would be really hard.

Seals create breathing holes in the ice with their claws. They come to the breathing holes to get air after swimming under water. Polar bears will locate the breathing holes with their sense of smell and then will wait hours for the seals to emerge. Polar bears will also look find seal pups in lairs (caves in the snow) and use their front legs to collapse the roof.

What can humans do to save polar bear habitat? How can we help the polar bears from the effects of global warming?

Polar bears depend on the ice for feeding, mating, and giving birth. Seals also depend on the ice for pupping (giving birth). In order to save polar bear habitat, humans need to slow the rate at which the planet is warming which would slow the rate at which the ice is melting. Global warming is caused by humans, which also means that we can slow it down! You can help by reducing your energy use. Reducing energy use includes making sure lights are turned off, electronics that aren’t in-use are unplugged, or biking to school. Additionally, keep learning about animals & the environment so that you can advocate for the importance of protecting our planet!

Looking forward to eventually meeting you all on Skype!

My um is how can we help the polar bears from global warming

- Ekam

My um was are humans affected by global warming? Does global warming effect the human food chain - Coby

# data[].attributes.body
My um is that  where will the polar bears and ring seals go when The ice melts . Did humans cause global warming . -Jordan

# data[].attributes.body
My um was that I wanted to now if the  Arctic, polar bears and all the other arctic animals will still exists in 50 years or will it be all melted away by global warming?

-Taylor

# data[].attributes.body
My um was that I want to learn more about baby polar Bears cause there so cute and there very playful

my um is why do thy want to track the polar bears and why do they sedate the cubs for there safety.

-Breanna

# data[].attributes.body
My um, I wonder what the polar bears are going to do when all the ice melts and there habitat is gone? And what will global warming be like in the future? - Haylie

# data[].attributes.body
My um is if we can  put a stop to global warming will the polar bears population start growing?

-Caleb

# data[].attributes.body
My um was how can we slow down global warming, how can we protect polar bears and seals, how to hunt, and how can person can swim in artic ocean.
-Sophia

# data[].attributes.body
My umbrella is how poler bears get seals do they break the ice or go to the artic ocean

My um was when they put the mama and her cubs to sleeps to put tracking devices on them . I want to know why they put tracking devices on them and what they  Learned . I also wonder what it will be for polar bears in a few years because of climate change and them  possibly not being her in 4-5 decades -

-naomi

# data[].attributes.body
My um was how they would hunt for there food if there were no seals and if they will still be alive in 4 or 5 decades

-Johnny

# data[].attributes.body
My um, was when they put the mother polar bear and her cubs to sleep and but  tracking devices on them, I'd like to learn what they discover about the mother polar bear and her cubs and why they wanted to tracking  Devices on them. 😊

My um is that I want to learn what will happen to the polar bears when all the ice melts and will it also be affective to the seals.
Also what will the polar bear cubs do when they get older will they become extinct?

-Gena

My um.... was that they may be extinct in 4 to 5 decades and may not be around when I'm older or if I have kid may not be able to see polar bears and there cubs and how beautiful
they are
and I want to learn more why they are endangered and how we can help stop them from being extinct
