Polar Bears and Global Warming: Reliable Predictions and Hope in an Uncertain World

In 2007, Dr. Amstrup's research team at the U.S. Geological Survey projected that we could lose two-thirds of the world's polar bears by mid century and may lose all of them by the end of this century. More recently, he and his colleagues showed that preventing the extinction of polar bears is largely a matter of controlling greenhouse gas rise.  The good news is that prompt action to arrest greenhouse gas rise will preserve sustainable polar bear populations over much of their current range.  Even more importantly, acting in time to save polar bears will benefit the rest of life on earth-including humans.
