Why are more polar bears roaming a tiny Canadian town?



Polar bears are spotted often in Churchill, Canada, but this year, government officials say they saw more than twice as many bears in town compared to 2022. Geoff York with Polar Bears International says a lack of sea ice due to climate change is the problem. NBC News’ Anne Thompson takes us there for a closer look at the situation.

  1. I guarantee you peopleare feeding them or leaving foodfor them

  2. Polar bear numbers have been increasing for decades —- if they’re starving it’s because they’re overpopulated.

  3. A Polar Bear Alert team, wow

  4. When humans move into bear territory.

  5. Better than blacks roaming around…

  6. The reason there are more polar bear sightings is that there are more polar bears. The polar bear population has grown in recent years, contrary to popular belief. This video is a lie.

  7. Because someone told the bears , Biden was seen walking in that area …….

  8. Can't believe they didn't feed the bears or give it water

  9. Shark attacks are also on the rise due to warming waters and lack of prey.

    Congratulations!

  10. Poor poor animals. ❤😞

  11. it's fun for us to live our life and just watch them, but a polar bear without ice means weeks and weeks of starvation. this is what we brought to animals on earth. good job every body

  12. I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for the reupload.

  13. 🧨⛲️🧨ANTIRAPE MAFIA🧨⛲️🧨

  14. How about y’all stop moving in there area? Why are u there? This is a polar bear town , but y’all moved there to terrorize the bears! The biggest terrorist on earth 💯

  15. Looking for little people to feed on!

  16. It's a sad result of sea ice melting. These poor bears are short of food. 😢
    I'm glad the locals know what to do. ❤

  17. 20 years ago NBC said polar bears would be extinct by now so I'm amazed you're even doing this story

  18. Long term we will extinct them. BUT in the meantime we can do something. Canada needs to start supplementing their diet. They need to start air dropping cow carcasses miles away from town. This will help the bears make it till the sea ice comes and it will draw them away from town instead of to the town.

  19. Why are more polar bears roaming a tiny Canadian town?

    Because they ran out of beer and cigarettes?
