"That means there was no or very little Arctic ice at the time. No polar bears."

Of course not. Polar bears as a species are only about 150,000 years old.

Sure. The point is, the threat to Polar Bears is one of the chief emotion buttons pushed by the Climate Cult. Yet they are a very new species. They did not exist before the onset of the past Ice Age 2.3 million years ago.

True. And I am not disputing that point. Polar bears have also survived several previous climate shifts, because they are not genetically that different from brown bears. Likely if ice cover reduces, they will revert to hunting on land like their cousins.
