  • Scientists have warned that climate change could spell danger, as melting ice is forcing polar bears to spend more time on land.
    Churchill, a town in Manitoba, Canada, is known as the polar bear capital of the world, and is noticing the effects of climate change on the number of bears spotted.
    Every year, the Hudson Bay - on the western edge of the town - thaws, and forces the bears on shore. As the freeze sets in in Autumn, hundreds of bears gather here, waiting.
    The BBC’s Victoria Gill has been in Churchill along with a team of polar bear researchers.

    Polar bears are often considered the only animals that actively hunt humans. Unlike other animals, they don't fear people and they are exponentially more dangerous than brown bear or black bears, hence why the Norwegian island of Svalbard banned leaving towns without a rifle. Hungry polar bears are no joke. I'm glad to see the camera crew is okay. It's also so sad to see this happening to them and their environment

    The population of polar bears grew when the last ice age had global warming. Breaking ice sheets up helped the polar bears but now global warming is bad for them.
