Yes a hybrid may be less adapted to current conditions, but the climate heating is revising the habitats available and erasing some while creating new ones. So a growler bear may be better adapted to a future habitat. I believe hybridization is a normal part of evolution, just one method of adaptation to a dynamic system.
