Climate change and human impacts on the land are behind a growing number of encounters between people and polar bears around the Arctic, new research concludes.

"What we have seen is an increase in intensity and increased occurrences in places where polar bears don't normally occur," said Geoff York, a researcher with Polar Bears International and co-author of a new paper published in Oryx, a journal from Cambridge University Press.

Communities in northern Ontario are also starting to see bears come inland, specifically around landfills.Diminishing sea ice cover robs the bears of the platform they need to hunt seals, forcing them to remain on land and look for other ways to feed themselves, such as landfills. As well, climate change has, to some extent, opened up the Arctic to humans.

Ryrkaypiy saw about 60 bears, young and old, most in poor condition. In Belushya Guba, 52 bears haunted the landfill and tried to enter homes and public buildings -- an unprecedented number thought to have been brought on by a long onshore fasting period following the loss of sea ice.

Is climate change inevitable and a regular cyclical event that has always occured? Or are these bought and paid for expert's right that the world will end if we do not dismantle modern society to save our goddess gaia?

An article published by the WWF on November 13, 2020 said “polar bears in some parts of Canada are getting fatter and more numerous according to recent survey results from two of the world’s 19 polar bear sub populations.”

Stop that

Despite what the elites would have you believe, getting taxed into oblivion and not eating meat will not stop climate change

I have relatives in Yellowknife and farther north. They tell me there are more polar bears now then they have seen in 50 years.

Don’t forget to write a article about monkey pox today!

I wondered when we'd be hearing about the polar bears.

So more polar bears is a problem? Record population... But climate change! Right

At least the polar bears have the right to bear arms.

Anyone still believe the climate scam? When I want a good laugh I just put on Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Similarly, expansion of cities is causing conflict with wildlife everywhere. Expansion must be redesigned for avoiding these complications in future. Land fill could be reduced by introducing incinerators to recover recoverable energy. 660news CBCCalgary JyotiGondek

No mention of the increased polar bear population ? just climate alarm bullshit.

Wow, we really are ramping up the climate fear. At least don't make it this obvious. Be a little more devious and plan your stories a bit better. This is nonstop bombardment...which makes sense based on the project Veritas piece with the CNN producer saying it's the next covid

Send The Liberal ministers out there with a barrel of KFC .

FAKE NEWS

dont believe the hype

CTV News is full of 💩 .

Anything you can grasp onto to keep the climate narrative rolling huh? 🤡

There isn't anything we can do about climate change. The positive feedbacks like melting permafrost releasing massive amounts of Methane 25x worse than CO2 and bigger and bigger wildfires destroying forest and releasing CO2 and methane. There is nothing we can do.

This is Liberal Climate science transparency. Very scientific

Didn’t CTV say that there would be no polar bears because of climate change by now? 😂

Only communism can save us 🙄

Is there anything that you people, say, that does not climate change!! Windmills are made from plastic, and lubed by oil, and cannot be recycled!! Same with solar panels!!

Here we go again. The climate kids on the weekend desk again at

I guess common sense is not so common anymore have you never heard of incinerators to burn your trash to ash which would help solve a huge part of the problem?

FACT CHECK - Merely hear say! Again NO report published!! Speculation. Climate change is a fallacy and another global elitists way of screwing the general public out of money!! When Bill Gates, Elon Musk Jeff besos stop flying around the globe in private jets I may think about it

Or, just maybe, it's the increasing number of polar bears that's leading to more interactions.

how about stop living in the arctic?
