There are now about 600 polar bears in the Western Hudson Bay , one of the most threatened of the 20 populations of the white beasts.
More than polar bears are threatened in this changing gateway to the Arctic , where warmer waters melt sea ice earlier in the year.
The polar bear — the symbol of both climate change and an area warming four times faster than the rest of the world — is the king of fat.
Arctic sea ice hit its fourth lowest extent on record for late August .
Researchers found that once Earth warms another 1.3 or 1.4 degrees Celsius ( 2.3 to 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit ) from now, polar bears likely will cross that point of no return.
Bears will be too hungry and this population likely dies out.
