El Cid 218 #1 Posted December 5, 2021 The largest size classes of fish and mammals in our oceans appear to have experienced a major reduction in biomass of nearly 90% since 1800. Many of the big fish and mammals that used to populate the ocean simply aren’t there anymore. Flying insects and birds are the same, no longer do you return from your car journey with dead insects on your windscreen and no longer is there a flock of birds when you throw out bread.

Morning El Cid. We are doomed, the Japanese have seen to the Whales even though they have stopped Whaling (except for scientific reasons of course ). Its a well known fact, you have to be at a speed of 60mph to splatter bugs. As most motorway have large stretches restricted to 50mph that explains that one, as for flocks of birds tell that to the Starlings on't garage roof. The 'thinning out' "Wallace" mentions is being successfully accomplished by the ever so helpful Covid . Keep safe out there, but I do get the feeling - Edited December 5, 2021 by Rockers rule - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

despritdan 241 #5 Posted December 5, 2021 Yes it is. There's a line from a Roger Waters song which says: "This species has amused itself to death." We're overpopulating and consuming ourselves to death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

cuttsie 1,090 #9 Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) The next World war will sort it out once and for all . They are massing armies on the Ukrainian border as we speak , China and Russian gangster leaders are joining forces thinking that they will force the West to stand down , History shows that with just one little wrong move the whole thing erupts in disaster . This coming disaster will be the one that alters the Earths surface forever . Until the rats and **** roaches come out and start the whole shebang or again that is . Seems as though kock roaches is a banned word . Edited December 5, 2021 by cuttsie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
