Polar bears may be inbreeding, a study found. And it's elevating their risk for extinction
"Scientists studying the impact of climate change on polar bears have come across

a new threat to the species — increased inbreeding.
In a study published in the Royal Society Journals Wednesday, genetic testing over a 20-year period for polar bears in Svalbard Archipelago, Norway found up to a 10% loss in genetic diversity.
Scientists said climate change and the rapid loss of arctic ice were causing habitat fragmentation, possibly leading to local polar bears mating with each other.
"The loss of genetic diversity and likely inbreeding depression could result in reduced survival or longevity and productivity for this iconic species," author Simo Maduna of the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research told USA TODAY in an email.
According to the study, the loss of genetic diversity could lead to an elevated extinction risk for the species already facing the loss of their natural habitat...Read on, it continues with more of the junkiest science that has now replaced "systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe."
