Frozen Planet ?

[Mike Barrio]

Ahh ..... you're overseas Jim

We are being treated to a great programme on the TV about the Polar regions by David Attenborough and his team.

See http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00zj1q5/Frozen_Planet_To_the_Ends_of_the_Earth/ or google "Frozen Planet".

I know it is not fishing, but it is about the great outdoors

Cheers

The series helps to remind you why we don't want wolves in this country

Didn't some muppet want to introduce them again?

Cheers

Not doing very well, am I Jim

Great series until Attenburgh started that global warming pish.
America isn't showing the last episode because it's too one sided. From the land that gave us An Inconvenient Truth no less. Must be pretty far to the side.

The wolf section was ace, and who would miss a few tourists? I for one think that there's too many Roe deer around here and a couple of wolf pack might save my car!

The shots of Orcas were breathtaking, as were the polar bears (up over 20 thousand since the 1950's btw)

Shame that a publicly funded organization can't just show how life is at the very poles without giving us the "message".
I don't want to start a "it's warming it's not" argument because that would be tedious for those not interested. Anyone who wants to start one can see me in the pub. 

 

[Mike Barrio]

I didn't see anything global warming related Euan, which episode was that in?

[Euan Innes]

All of them!
He made liitle remarks about melting ice being caused by humans in all the ones so far.
The last one is his thoughts on how floating ice will flood the planet...
Never mind , there always time for some slo-mo shots of what glaciers do every day, awesome!
