Rare river dolphin 'now extinct'

[Mr.Sam]

BBC News said there were 17 5 years ago and nothing was done and most ended getting killed for food or caught in fishing nets by accident.

I heard the Global Warming bit on BBC News, doesn't mention it on this article.

I'm so angry by this.. seriously.. when are human's going to finally wake up and see that we're the smartest on the planet, so instead of killing it, why not help and conserve the planet?

Undertaker.. you're so misinformed.. it's funny..

30 years and counting till polar bears are extinct from global warming so beautiful isn't it? While we have complete idiots saying global warming is a fake there's probably a polar bear out there now drowning out of exhaustion.

read this on MSN, they arent classified as officially extinct until they haven't found one for 50 years.

i highly doubt polar bears will ever be extinct aslong as theres some in zoo's around the world they'll be polar bears.

Edit: and big deal canadians fish of our coasts , we also restock alot of our lakes ect every year & this fish was from china , i'm sure canadians went fishing in china ....

You're so naive.. the only place polar bears exist is in zoos.. ? sorry.. don't you find something wrong with that sentence..

and you can't "restock the lakes/oceans" .. takes a little more than that tO repair what we've done.

also it's not a fish it's a mammal.

[Mr.Sam]

I have no idea where someone blamed the canadians - By re-stocking i guess you mean leaving the area to mature for a while and then refish?

also the extinction is down to Man kind not doing anything.
And so what if you can keep animals in zoos to keep them populated thats not their natural habit.

Actually many people think Global Warming is complete trash, it's so funny that you and others think just because the temperture is changing slightly this time, it means it's us.

It's happened MILLIONS of times, get this into your heads.

sort off sam we actaully put fish back into the rivers ect that we had breed in fish breeding places and atleast if theres some in zoo's we can breed them and reintroduce them to the wild like there doing in africa with some animals.

Global warming has happened millions of times? :rolleyes: Global heating and cooling yes has happened many times, but what you can't seem to get into your head is that we're the ones causing it or speeding it up, the temperature is changing rapidly, ice caps are melting RAPIDLY- polar bears are about 300,000 years old, according to your theory then as so many "global warmings" have occurred, then why are the polar bears still around? They're dieing off very fast due to the melting ice but could you explain how they got past extinction last time when this time round extinction is highly probably if we don't act?

No sorry. we can introduce so many fish back into rivers and lakes but that's nowhere enough to satisfy a greedy world like we live in, we'd also have to account for every single species of fish in the ocean that we've wiped out/nearly wiped out etc etc.

Plus how can a polar bear be reintroduced to the wild when.. there's no place for it go?

[Colin-Roberts]

Temperatures in western Hudson Bay have been steadily rising 0.3 to 0.4 degrees every decade since 1950.

i don't call that rapidly rising.

No-one can say either whether it is a trend that will continue to worsen, or a natural cycle that will eventually be reversed
