Original Note:
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/
