The small town of Belushya Guba, in Nova Zembla, Russia recently declared a state of emergency as 52 bears literally took over the village. Belushya Guba is a small military settlement in the Russian Arctic, on a finger of land stretching into the Arctic Ocean. Polar Bears are a listed endangered species in Russia so it's illegal to kill or hurt them and the residents have constructed fences to try and keep them out. The polar bears literally come ashore and stroll through the town, scouring dumpsters, rummaging through the local open landfill and even checking out the amenities in a block of flats. The bears literally help themselves to town as their arrival leaves the streets empty, with the 2,000 villagers too afraid to venture out while bears wondering down main street. One Russian report noted the previous fame for "the remote Novaya Zemlya archipelago, was for its scary plankton flowers and nuclear bomb tests." Now it's the last polar bears.The world population of 33,000 bears, 22,000 live in the Arctic and that puts polar bears at the front line of global warming as temperatures are rising in their habitat twice as fast as the rest of the planet according to the NOAA Report 2018. And many are literally starving to death.Go to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website for any kind of data on temperatures and impacts.
