Dude, this is startling. I just the entire species did not become extinct!

"Twenty-four pilot whales have died on a remote beach in the far north of New Zealand, the Department of Conservation was quoted as saying on Friday by press reports. Fourteen of the whales were already dead when the group was found scattered over 150 metres of rocks, mud and mangrove early Friday in Parengarenga Harbour, 15 kilometres south of North Cape. "
whales, now? shieet.

The pilot whales are probably related to this generation having been used to freakishly cold ocean currents for their entire lifespans, but recently they've warmed up around there (causing the floods in Australia and possibly contributing to those in Brazil). The whales were probably interpreting the warmer Pacific currents as being too close to land and headed for the colder water coming off the Tasman sea, which brought them too close to New Zealand.
Also I find the media's surprise at the Barramundi dying in the Queensland floods amusing. Anyone who knows anything about the species will realise they would have gone for their tree root safehavens, got caught, and the water will have been moving too fast for them to breathe properly, and they'llve drowned (and a little of getting clobbered too, but mostly drowning).

50 elves died dancing at CS last night o_O
http://s014.radikal.ru/i327/1101/6d/3b544a146a41.jpg If serious... We are closer and closer to Era change. In fact it is a simple moving of our planet in Space. I mean not only moving around Sun but moving with whole Galaxy in Universe. In each Era (part of universe) our planet pass through couple of types of waves, fields and energy streams. All of them effect on everything on the Earth. It is the law and it is a life. Everything in this life has it own role in Universe. Every subclass like birds, dogs, humans etc. has also group role... It is similar to alive organism. Everyone is like a cell, but group of cells form a skin or heart or liver... or сanser... If those animals died it means they don't need anymore for their old role. And yes, Humanity did a tremendous impact on this. But... that is just beginning!

Wikipedia:
"According to scientists, massive die offs of animals are not unusual in nature and happen for a variety of reasons including bad weather, disease outbreaks and poisonings,[14] with pollution and climate change adding to the stresses on wildlife.[15] The U.S. Geological Service's website listed about 90 mass deaths of birds and other wildlife from June through December 12.[16] For instance, Louisiana's State Wildlife Veterinarian Jim LaCour has stated that there have been 16 similar mass blackbird deaths in the past 30 years.[17] On the other hand, according to Italy's WWF president Giorgio Tramonti, similar mass death events such as these have never happened before the year 2010." The only reason why we (as in you and I) notice it now is because of the media attention it's getting. |

I'm with you on this one, i've personally seen 1 bird, 1 fish, and 2 crab mass deaths in the past 30 years in the UK...and for the fish+crab I was only living on the coast for 6 years(20 years ago)..Its always happened, nothing new. Its just the media trying to scare or distract the public, that makes it seem more than it is....if they spent the same amount of time + effort reporting the extintion of at least 1 species a day due to humans deforesting/poluting the planet.....but that would interfere with global capitalism so thats not gonna happen.
