Polar bears love to eat seals. Seals love to float around on broken sections of sea ice to keep away from polar bears. Extensive sea ice forces the bears to risk life and limb to go eat seals hiding in and on the ice. Less ice forces the seals onto land into the ready grasp of the bears.

Obviously a loss of sea ice over several seasons should result in more bear cubs surviving because their mommies will have easier seal hunting ~ ergo the growth of polar bear numbers does reflect the loss of sea ice.

Return of a lengthy period of heavy sea ice should deplete polar bear numbers.

The Algore had it bass ackwards.

More likely they took the facts and twisted them. A little cherry picking words and pics.

So polar bears eat only seals?
And their food was only on distant ice floes?
