The score on PC1 shows a separation between on the one hand the position that Arctic sea ice extent is shrinking and that this poses a threat to polar bears (most scientific articles and science - based blogs) and on the other side the position that Arctic sea ice is not shrinking or that it's due to natural variability and that polar bears are not threatened (pseudo-skeptical blogs).

And again and again in early summer the question arises whether the most recent trend in sea - ice extent might lead to a new record minimum, with a sea - ice cover that will be smaller than that in the record summer of 2007.

That is because the extent of sea ice in early summer and late fall means little to polar bears, in part because most bears eat very little then, even if they are on the ice.
