The OP references a link that claims "It has been well documented that polar bear populations have declined over the past 50 years as the extent of sea ice has decreased". This is not correct. Polar bear numbers have approximately doubled over this time period: https://www.factcheck.org/2008/06/polar-bear-population/ https://www.arcticwwf.org/wildlife/polar-bear/polar-bear-population/

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1885112574322123068
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
