Polar bears drown as ice shelf melts

I came across this interesting article regarding the effects of global warming:

The poor old bears are up the creek and this could readilly upset the delicate balance of the food chain...

but as the report says the dead bears were found several days later after a severe storm! there fore you could argue that had the bears been within there comfort range then they could have drowned any way if caught in a sudden severe storm at sea not neccesarilly caused by ice floes retreating? just another way to read the article. dont get me wrong i do believe global warming is having a serious effect on weather and the environment but are they going to blame the wilderbeast dying every year on their migration to global warming.or just admit some animals are dumb and just follow the herd so to speak.

very good of you to heads up the article in the first place and i mean no disrespect with my comments. i just like to look at both sides and possibillities

Blessed Ursus Maritimus. Up the creek is about right I fear. As far as I recall they are the most recent of the bears, and probably the next to go ...

Hey no problem, you are entitled to your opinion and didnt speak out of turn in the slightest (I wouldnt be that bothered if you did). I think you raised a very valid point and would hope that it is the effects of the storm that has affected the bears, rather than this man made disaster.
