Climate Change Force Polar Bears To Spend 4-Times Energy For Prey
Owing to climate change-induced glacier melting in the Arctic, the polar bears and narwhals now require four times as much energy to hunt for survival. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Biology discovered that sea-ice loss is forcing the cold-climate mammals to conserve themselves rigorously as killer whales have infiltrated the previously ice-locked ocean stretches. Reportedly, the diet alterations have forced the ‘sit-and-… read-more

Ice Melting Rate Accelerated By 57% Than Pre-Industrial Times: Study
A recent climate study has revealed the melting rate of the earth's ice has accelerated by 57% compared to mid-1990s. Moreover, the report mentioned that approximately 28 trillion metric ton of sea ice had melted away. While the global atmospheric temperature rose by 1.1-degree Celsius since pre-industrialisation, the warming rate in the Arctic doubled the global average in the last three decades. Besides, the report highlighted sea-ice… read-more
