The habitat of the Polar bear (floating ice) is down 33% in the Arctic over the past 20 years. The RATE of sea ice LOSS is accelerating. The Arctic will be 4 degrees C warmer in the next year. In 2050 RAIN will be falling instead of SNOW for many MONTHS. Polar bear and oil worker conflicts are increasing as bears are driven onto LAND. Currently, polar bears are listed as THREATENED. Soon they will be reevaluated for possible ENDANGERED STATUS.
