Insects around the world are in a crisis, according to a small but growing number of long-term studies showing dramatic declines in invertebrate populations. A new report suggests that the problem is more widespread than scientists realized. Huge numbers of bugs have been lost in a pristine national forest in Puerto Rico, the study found, and the forest's insect-eating animals have gone missing, too.
In 2014, an international team of biologists estimated that, in the past 35 years, the abundance of invertebrates such as beetles and bees decreased by 45 percent. In places where long-term insect data are available, mainly in Europe, insect numbers are plummeting. A study last year showed a 76 percent decrease in flying insects in the past few decades in German nature preserves.

Still no mention of the effects from aluminum and coal ash horizontal and vertical "clouds" criscrossing the sky!
ReplyDeleteOMG!
ReplyDeleteWe should panic! After all there are 200 MILLION insects for every human on this planet.
What a stupid article!
Can you say Monsanto?
ReplyDeleteYou my friend are a very smart individual. I’m actually in the Process of writing an article and explaining in detail how people are so worried about CWD chronic wasting disease And animals Specifically Whitetail deer it comes from the chemicals that they are eating and ingesting that are sprayed on things such as Round Up Ready beans and corn. Basically you can spray it with poison and it won’t kill the plant it’s designed not to kill the plant but anything else that he eats it so be it. Same as the Wheat. They’re allowed to kill it three days before harvest the poisons not out of the plant yet that’s why people have all of this gluten crap it’s the poison it’s in the food. No I’m not a conspiracy freak but look it up. Do your own research don’t take me and my word for it .
DeleteThere is no shortage of Skeeters lately. I have never seen so many.
ReplyDeleteJeff Rense has been reporting on this for years about the insect loss. Just go out at night with the outdoor lights on, there are few if any moths flying around the bulbs and I use just regular light bulbs. Even when I drive my car out in the country last summer, no bugs on my windshield or grill for the first time this year!
ReplyDeleteCheck out this link from Jeff Rense concerning this. He has people reporting all over the country and Canada about this. He is blaming the ongoing problem with radiation from the Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe.

Monarch butterflies are also a no show this year. Usually see them late September and early October. Butterflies in general are missing.
5:19....don't do science much, do you?? It's called the food chain.
ReplyDeleteWHEREVER humans go, we kill or destroy everything in sight and move on to do the same thing somewhere else.
A patch of plastic and netting and trash AS BIG AS TEXAS exists in the Pacific Ocean. Think about that. As big as Texas.
And growing bigger.
We don't even go there and we are killing things there. We are totally bad-ass.
Keep cheering.
And this is a bad thing??????? TRUMP WINS AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteObama. It is the *only* explanation. The electro magnetic rays ! Yes, the spectrum. That and the (Chem Trailers) spray spray. Your Mind !
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering what that buzz and smell down at Ocean City, City Hall has been.
ReplyDeleteBuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
5:19 This IS serious. Do you like to eat? Most of what you eat is pollinated by bees. I have not seen a SINGLE bee in my yard this year! I used to see hundreds. So, unless we find another way to pollinate our crops, we are up sh*ts creek.
ReplyDeleteWe have to find out whats causing the decline and fix it.
