The polar bear population has increased over the last 50 years and is relatively stable today.
Historically, polar bears have thrived in temperatures far warmer than at present -- during the medieval warm period 1,000 years ago and during the Holocene Climate Optimum between 5,000 and 9,000 years ago.
