"Melting Ice, Starving Bears: The Harsh Reality of Climate Change"

As Arctic sea ice melts due to climate change, polar bears are facing starvation as they struggle to adapt their diet to living on land. A study found that many bears are spending more time on shore, eating bird's eggs, berries, and grass, but rapidly losing weight and increasing their risk of death. Researchers tracked the activities of 20 polar bears and found that most strategies for survival, such as foraging for vegetation or swimming to find food, were unsuccessful, leading to significant weight loss. The study raises important questions about the species' ability to adapt to the impacts of climate change, with differing effects depending on location.
