I would think that thin polar bears means LONGER winters. A polar bear could eat more and obtain more fat in warmer climates............

Where do these guys crawl out from?

Polar bears hunt seals. They have to be on the ice to do that. Longer winters mean more time to catch and eat seals.

Polar bears hunt most often and successfully on ice. The white color is camoflage, after all. Colder temps mean more ice and a longer season fo rthe bears to hunt and eat.
