1. Sad yes, but
that has to be doctored, right?

I can't imagine a bear sitting there watching the ice melt around it. I guess it coulda floated out a ways.

2. I'll bet the bear climbed up there to rest...
They have to swim much farther now to get from ice floe to ice floe. Sometimes they drown. :(

9. Polar bears are very agressive
You can't just paddle up in a boat and offer one a lift, unless you want to be killed and eaten. You'd have to tranquilize it first, and in that situation it would drown.

We can only save them by saving the planet.

3. Oh, could be
I have never though of that. What I DO know is that polar bears are drowning due to lack of ice.
