So this has been bugging me for a long time, what has polor bear ‘hunting grounds’ shrinking got to do with them finding less food?

As the ice caps melt seal populations will have to move further into the ice to survive, and so less ice = less distance bears need to travel = less area for seals to hide

So shouldn’t polar bears bears be benefitting from global warming and seals facing extinction?
