Warmer temperatures and earlier melting of sea ice are causing polar bears to go hungry. The number of undernourished bears has tripled in a 20-year period.
Seth Cherry of the University of Alberta, Canada, and colleagues monitored the health of polar bears in the ice-covered Beaufort Sea region of the Arctic during April and May in 1985, 1986, 2005 and 2006.
They immobilised the bears using tranquilliser darts and measured the ratio of urea to creatinine in their blood. A low ratio means that nitrogenous waste material is being recycled within the body and indicates the animal is fasting - a state which usually only occurs temporarily in males during the spring breeding season.
In 1985 and 1986 the proportion of bears fasting was 9.6 and 10.5 per cent respectively. By 2005 and 2006 this had risen to 21.4 and 29.3 per cent.

Die, republicans.
Feed them prisoners on death row.
Problem solved.
More propoganda?
LOL they look fine to me.
don't they drink coke cola
I thought their problem was that they were drowning, not starving.
only during the holidays! o!
It's probably depression. After centuries of living quiet, peaceful lives unmolested by outside intruders, they now have to deal with people shooting tranquilizer darts at them all the time.
I don't doubt the Global Warming and I don't doubt the Polr bears are in danger but god damn, this commercial is getting in my nerves.
hahahaha
is that the one where they show two bears on a sliver of ice as if thats teh only thing around for miles and they have nowhere to go? that commercial makes me laugh bc it's so blatantly one sided. i would really like to know what the area looks like if they zoomed out a bit.
I'm curious...
How much has the polar bear population changed in the last 25 years?
Poor bears, only able to get ty Newcastle that far north. LMAO @ Van Exel in your sig too.
