"Strange" things happen every year, it's just that before the 24-hour news channels and the Internet, you never heard about them.
Uh.... Okay.
BTW, where ARE your links to scientific data explaining these phenomena????????
How does that explain the occurrences in New Zealand?
I have no idea what’s going on w/ the deaths -
but it is summer [not winter] in southern hemisphere.
I’ve heard that it’s been cold down south and that theast coast/ mid-atlantic are getting hammered with snow. got a friend down in TX that said it was 31 this morning.
so the only ones i would hesitate to blame on the weather are the ones in the midwest.
now the ones in australia, new zealand brazil, haiti and the phillipine’s (isn’t it summer there?) any idea what they can be blamed on?
Not to pick further nits, but Australia recently had snowfall.
Have you even been reading the news? Brutal winter in UK, record cold snaps in Florida?
Do you need commonly-known news presented to you?
Please, the animals are adaptable. It doesn't turn deathly cold in minutes. They have nests and places to bed down. In the case of fish cold water doesn't overwhelm ambient temperature in seconds.
How does cold explain the what's going on in New Zealand?
As I noted, most of the kills are in the Northern Hemisphere. Other factors can cause kills, such as pollution, red tides, etc. But the cold can explain most of the kills in the Northern Hemisphere.
Australia just had snow a couple of weeks ago. New Zealand's fish kill link goes to a story about a trail of dead fish leading to a bunch of dead fish floating in a net. Not exactly what I would call a natural die-off. More likely, the next snagged the fish, then came loose from the boat, and the fish died in the net.
Uh, yes, it can get cold. And birds only have nests to raise young, not as shelters.
In the case of fish cold water doesn't overwhelm ambient temperature in seconds.
But a severe cold snap of several days can lower temps water quickly and shock their systems. Fish are used to gradual changes.
Perhaps volcanic and tsunamis are what is going on in the Southern hemisphere.
UFOs?
Many jumped on here with claims such die offs as this happen all the time but I have not seen any documentation offering support for that claim. I know that it is not unusual for dieoffs to happen but I have never seen so many happen in such a short period of time. That might just be a data collection issue. With the internet it is possible to track this kind of incident worldwide now moreso than in the past.
The “scientific” explanation that the birds died because of fire works is laughable, as you can see from the dates of the incidents. The other explanation that they died from blunt trauma is interesting too given they fell to their deaths and blunt force trauma to the bodies is to expected but can not be used to explain their deaths. Science has yet to explain all these deaths.
Asking people to just be vacant headed and silent about life around them since they are not scientists is a pox on our society. We want people thinking, learning, discovering and asking questions throughout their lives and Americans should know that the intellectual elite don't own their creativity and brains. Welcoming and encouraging personal exploration, invention and continuing self education is one of the aspects of our National personality that has been diminished in limo liberal modern times and that is a waste.
Excellent response!
Funny thing most of those have in common - they happened in winter. A very severe winter. Imagine that - cold can kill. What's next? A breathless timeline of bears crapping in the woods? I can't wait.LMAO! Post of the month.
Yeah, and south Florida is experiencing a breezy 75 degrees. Australia too has several different types of climates due to its position on the map. What I was implying was that this is going on in different climates, so the ‘cold’ theory just isn’t cutting it for me.
I said, strange things are happening, calm down. I didn’t propose that we are going into the apocalypse or wax off on some conspiracy theory.
As for me, the mindset of humanity is a greater mal phenomenon than modern science. I’ve seen strange things happen all my life. Like people getting their rocks off on some theory put out by an old man sitting in a room waxing off on some ‘natural selection’ idea and promoting it as proven science, for pete’s sakes. And those that poo poo any other theory available, even the oldest written history text in the world.
I sat in my living room and watched men land on the moon and walk on it. And there are still the many that believe it never happened, even though we’ve had routine trips into space and men living in the international space station for months on end ever since. Is it all real? Hell, I don’t know, I’ve never been there myself. The only way I’d know for sure is if I went there witnessed it.
This article details the dying off of fowl and sea life in a very small time frame, and I pointed out it’s going on in different climates, which to me is strange. And we have the phenomenon of those that are trying to schrug it off as being a product of ‘cold’ when Brazil, New Zealand, and Australia are in the middle of summer.
I can’t help but be curious, but I’m not falling off my chair grabbing me chest every time I experience a little gas pain thinking I’m sucking in phosgene from the chemtrails I’m seeing every two or three days in the sky above my house. Although I am curious about what they’re doing up there making almost a perfect grid in the skies and leaving little clouds that float together and hang around for hours at the time.
Curiosity didn’t kill the cat, it just gave them nine lives! :)
Here in Michigan I still have almost a dozen golfinches around my house who usually head south for the winter. BUT, they're seed eaters and I'm feeding them.........the redwing blackbirds are primarily insect eaters thus the reason they head south.
