What a time to be alive as a human. We are witnessing the 6th mass extinction right before our very eyes.
People wont start noticing until large animals begin to dissappear and our food supply dwindles to a grinding halt.

:snoop:

Some times I just want to go live in a forest somewhere and enjoy whatever time we have left. Our way of life is beginning to become more and more meaningless as more of these stories come out.

@newworldafro come in and deny climate change some more. Come and tell us how the illuminati coordinated this psy op and placed these insect carcasses around the world

How about you blame Russia while you at it

You leaving out GMO crops.
You leaving out Fukushima radiation.
You leaving out spraying of the atmosphere.
You leaving out increased radio frequencies from more and more powerful cellphone towers.

Not saying one is the culprit or main culprit, but all you can do is blame "climate change"....stop seek help.

This is terrifying. We used to call the fireflies "lightning bugs" and we kept them in jars with holes to see how long they can live when I was a kid.

Now I hardly see butterflies anymore. Even bees have decreased in number. We need to start cloning these bugs for the sake of the ecosystem, or else it will be too late.

climate change is real and theres only 1 cause...

the world is overpopulated

thanos was correct we need him to come thru for a quick dusting :yeshrug:

I been saying that. No way people can be having 3+ kids for generations on end, and not enough land to live on.

I see mad butterflies in my back yard. Lady bugs, snails and wasps up the ass. Honey bees too. But I believe what's happening.

We've been hearing about the bees vanishing for a long time now tho. Humans are just a disease ourselves. We overpopulate, use all the resources and kill every thing we touch. Life is all just worlds inside of worlds.

You do have a point, albeit flimsy one. Sure you can get away with that excuse this time.

Yet there are many varying examples of climate change. You're doing yourself a disservice of denying as an intellectual but ok.

There are plenty more examples. Lettuce test the limits of your juelz:shaq:

I ain't too worried about all of this tho. the 2020s will be the decade where many problems finally get solved.

Man, there are so many friggin insects, this has to get to a much more critical level to mean something. And by that, until large swaths of animal populations (birds, fish, other small insect eating creatures) start to die off, we will continue to spray raid all over our homes.

It has already happened.

Populations of all sorts of common birds have plummeted: Forty Percent of the World’s Bird Populations Are in Decline, New Study Finds

70 percent of fish populations are fully used, overused or in crisis: Ocean Fish Stocks on “Verge of Collapse,” Says IRIN Report

I just saw a presentation where the guy showed that snake populations have dropped by 90% in the last thirty years.

Overall wildlife populations have dropped 60% in the last 40 years: Global wildlife populations dropped 60 per cent in last 40 years: WWF



This IS a critical level. It's like the passenger pigeon and other really common shyt that goes extinct. If you wait until 95% of them are gone you're way too late. When more than half of something disappears off the Earth, that ain't just a warning sign, that's a catastrophe in progress. And that catastrophe is happening right now, across the board, with just about everything.

Ask anyone who spends any time in nature. The shyt you see now compared to what you used to see just 30-40 years ago is night and day. And compared with what people used to see 100+ years ago it's like a different world. We're basically disinfecting the entire planet of life, and systems are beginning to collapse.

Nah, that's some bullshyt. The average American uses like 200 times as much resources as the average Ethiopian. Rich people (meaning most Westerners) are responsible for the vast majority of environmental destruction. It would be almost impossible to cut the global population in half, but it would be easy to cut resource use of the wealthy in half.

If we cut world population, all that would happen is that the wealthy people would double their own resource use to fill in the gap. That already happens. There's no limit to corporate greed, not limit to how much bullshyt rich people will accumulate. The only way to address the issue is to change the economic system so that constant economic growth and corporate greed aren't the #1 incentivized factors, and to limit the totally outsized resource use of the wealthy which doesn't really lead to anything positive anyway.

That's just sad that species are disappearing because of rampant greed and usage.
