The study of polar bears in the south Beaufort Sea, which spans the northern coasts of Alaska and western Canada, also found that adult males weigh less and have smaller skulls than those captured and measured two decades ago.

The study does not directly blame the changes on a decline in sea ice. However, fewer cubs and smaller males are consistent with other observations that suggest changes in sea ice may be adversely affecting polar bears, the study said.

Maybe the OP would like to fling herself in the Arctic Sea as polar bear food to prove how concerned she is for the baby bears.

It's the AP feed via Faux

"A decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on listing America's polar bears as threatened is due next month.

"Polar bears depend entirely on sea ice for survival, according to the U.S. Geological Survey report. Warming has caused major changes and scientists foresee more melting."

I don't think the Faux editors have seen it yet.
