This is getting VERY real now.

Hating on dolphins! Really?

You mean this?

I don't really see what is so significant there. If anything, it just shows that our climate is pretty random and unpredictable. Some areas experienced above average temperatures while some areas were cooler than normal. The north had a lower sea ice extent, while the south had more sea ice extent than average. This is all entirely normal. There's nothing on that image even remotely related to mass "die offs" or species extinction. Now don't get me wrong, as I'm all for figuring out what is going on with our planet. I just don't see a relationship between dying animals and a few common temperature fluctuations. Am I missing something?


Cheers

nvm

I was only tuned in for 20 mins, and in 20 mins, the news had covered about 40 countries that we're falling apart, and raised at least 20 issues with the planet, and spoke of thousands that had died in the last couple of days.

I really couldn't think of a faster fix than the ultimate purge...a purge I think mother Earth is already under going, I just wish the innocent lives of animals and people didn't have to be included in this.

I really hope that in 50 years time, this planet is new and different from the one we know now...

So... we are the great evil after all.

I called it.

If you think there's a solution you're part of the problem

hums... so according to your "logic", attempting to find a solution for such a problem is being part of the problem, right?

So then why not call all anti-war protesters "war profiteers"?

Is there really a market for dolphin meat meant for human consumption?

I can't imagine eating such an intelligent animal. Perhaps it's an old traditional delicacy?

dead sea animals could be a result of warmer water, which fits into the picture of everything else. warmer waters contain less oxygen, vital for the food chain

How do you know it's not Fukushima radiation?

IMO That is what it must be.....

Not sure what version of google you're looking at but there are no mainstream news articles, just blog posts which means all the senior citizens who go whale watching and fund political parties are unaware of this issue.

In hindsight I feel a bit bad but I'd had Dolphin at the Mirage hotel in Vegas a long time ago. It stuck in my mind so much I'd even asked the Buffet at the time whether it was what it was labeled. I couldn't believe they'd be serving Flipper.. They'd assured me then that it was not of the Flipper variety. At the time that made it okay but these days I definitely wouldn't see that distinction as making things alright.

Dude
The dolphin they served you is the fish dolphin, not the water mammal dolphin.
They got a sort of flat head, scales, and are definately -not- the same creature your thinking of.

I don't know why they call both a fish and a mammal the same name..it only ends in confusion
Just do a quick google for "dolphin fish" or as they are commonly referred to, "Mahi Mahi".

a nice pic

So ignoring the problem is better? This isn't about YOU or your perception of what a conspiracy is, it's about 600 plus dolphins lying dead on a beach.

For fun,If you do this, you see that only the Northwestern hemisphere had a warm winter and everywhere else was the coldest on record.

There is a theory, that millions of years ago the Dinasours were eating the humanoid that existed then, and they used to run into the water to escape, and over the years adapted to being in the water, and evolved to exist in the water, and became our Dolphin of today, and as the cellular memory is still of man,and every now and then have this desire to join man back on land and hence the beachings.

Well thank you, I appreciate that and it's quite a bit more than they'd explained at the time. I suppose they'd heard that question a hundred times already and didn't want to get into it. I know I never saw it there or anywhere else that way again. Maybe the confusion is why.

Anyway, thanks for that...I never cared enough to really look into it but that is interesting to know now.

There were almost 264 dead out there in Feb of 2011 according to:
www.heraldsun.com.au...

here's what I found, from CNN

Brazil: Sunbathers Save Stranded Dolphins

Article Date : March 10th, 2012

.....

According to Gerd Traue, who caught the incident on camera, the dolphins appeared at 8:00 AM on March 5.

.....

The happy ending is all the more welcome for the fact that it's unusual: in February, hundreds of dead bottlenose dolphins washed ashore on the northern coast of Peru, for reasons that remain a mystery. Meanwhile almost 200 dolphins have stranded themselves on the shores of Cape Cod in the past month; at least 125 have died, despite efforts to save them.

Dolphins cannot survive long on land, and unless returned to sea quickly, may struggle to recover even once they're back in the water.

The video of the Arraial do Cabo rescue, which has had over 1 million views since Monday, is sure to warm your cockles:
