Oh no!!!! They will be culled by 10% thanks to Global Warming!!!
Doesn’t that still leave a lot of polar bears? Around 90% perhaps? How is that the ‘endgame’ for polar bears? If anything, it is good news as there will be more food for the remaining 90%
Polar bears think little of hunting and eating humans. Anyone who has spent any time in the arctic knows this.
Hence the ‘polar bear shark cages’ all over:

Usually they just eat natives though, so it only makes news if it’s particularly brutal. That is, if the attack is even reported to ‘authorities’ at all. Getting ‘authorities’ involved usually means bad things for natives regardless of the subject matter. Man-eating bears are the lesser evil. What does that tell ya?
