Climate change destroys the polar bears' habitat.

Explanation:

Climate change, that is, the heating of the climate, slowly melts the glaciers and ice on which polar bears live. This is a problem for a few reasons.

  1. It can also lead to the ice growing very thin in some areas. When the bears step on the ice, they break through and end up in the water. They can then get trapped under the ice and drown.
  2. It can make it harder for the bears to find places to live, as their homes melt into the ocean.
  3. It makes is harder for the bears to get food, because their food relocates due to the change in environment.
