They fall over dead, like Colorado Pikas in 60 degree weather.</p>
<p>Sadly, the Arctic was indeed ice-free around 5,000 years ago, which means that the last Polar Bear went the way of the Dodo Bird long before we were all born.</p>
<blockquote><p>Examination of several proxy records (e.g., sediment cores) of sea ice indicate ice-free or near ice-free summer conditions for at least some time during the period of 15,000 to 5,000 years ago (Polyak et al., 2010)</p>
