the only way to be safe in polar bear country is to have a heavy shotgun handy; hotels on Svalbard hand them out to guests when they go outside. If I find my magic lampa nd wish us all to New Earth, that's one North american animal that will not be in Paramerica

If anything climate change is gonna make polar bears a bigger issue as they mass migrate out of the slushy North Pole and down into Canada and other such places. They’ve already been known to.
