…if you lose the summer sea ice, there are phenomena that could lead you not so very long thereafter to lose the winter sea ice as well. And if you lose that sea ice year round, it’s going to mean drastic climatic change all over the hemisphere.

Earth to USGS : How does the Hudson Bay bear population survive without sea ice for three months every year?

The overall conclusion of the USGS research effort is:
Projected changes in future sea ice conditions, if realized, will result in loss of  approximately 2/3 of the world’s current polar bear population by the mid 21st century.  Because the observed trajectory of Arctic sea ice decline appears to be underestimated by currently available models, this assessment of future polar bear status may be conservative.
