They have survived previous Arctic warming periods, including the last warm stretch between ice ages some 130,000 years ago, but some climate experts project that nothing in the species» history is likely to match the pace and extent of warming and ice retreats projected in this century and beyond, should emissions of heat - trapping gases continue unabated.
