at the height of polar bear season in churchill, manitoba, conservation scientists are out on the tundras want to stay with the ice. the bears are waiting for the bay to freeze, so that they can use it as a platform to hunt seals. but as the climate warms up here, the bears are having to wait for longer. we had about 1,200 polar bears here in the 1980s. now, we have closer to about 618. we've lost almost about 50% of those polar bears in the last several decades. we've tied that to these bears are on land about a month longer than their grandparents were. in the long—term, this threatens the survival of this polar bear population, but in the short—term, it means these bears are getting hungrier. the longer they're onshore, the longer they're fasting, and the longer they might need to start looking for alternative sources of energy and food. and sometimes, those sources are us. that poses a particular challenge for churchuill and the team of polar bear alert rangers who patrol and protect churchill. i came down this trail, and i caught him up on this deck. it was testing the door. what di

manitoba -- i have to give credit to heather for pointing this out to me. we are seeing governments try to streamline. there was work to be done on actual streamlining. other good news, there are brownfield investment sites and former mines abandoned that have infrastructure that could easily be deployed. we have heard earlier about how long it takes to build the pipeline, how long it takes. all of those are equally true on the mining site. if you have connectors and roads, that is important. government incentives have been important, including those in the ira and some efforts in canada. the challenge that we will get you is oneo f w-- one of whether the timing of incentives matches the long lead times. the other good news i see is that there is government learning. we saw in the last week or so adjustments to the tax incentives from the inflation reduction act 45x that closed the loophole and make it more valuable for companies in the u.s. to use to mystic mining. -- domestic mining. the element of industry speaking up and saying there is a real problem a
