    Is the polar bear doomed to extinction? Maybe not, according to models of the future extent of Arctic sea ice if greenhouse-gas emissions are curbed. The outlook depends on the ability of policy-makers to act. See Letter p.955

    The dramatic loss of Arctic sea ice with climate change has led to the prediction of a tipping point beyond which ice loss is irreversible and polar bear habitat will be catastrophically lost. By contrast, this study shows a linear relationship between temperature and sea-ice coverage that overcomes the albedo effect that would cause a tipping point. As a result, reducing greenhouse gas emissions can have a positive effect on polar bear populations.

    Current national emissions targets can't limit global warming to 2 °C, calculate Joeri Rogelj, Malte Meinshausen and colleagues — they might even lock the world into exceeding 3 °C warming.

    The integrity of climate research has taken a very public battering in recent months. Scientists must now emphasize the science, while acknowledging that they are in a street fight.
