I think we look like a bunch of dumb humans making jokes about all these random groups of animals dying. You heard it first. This is very very bad. Increased intensity and frequency of disasters. Check. Random animals falling out the sky. Check. Hundreds of thousands of fish and other animals washing up dead on various country’s coast lines. Check. It doesn’t take too much of a stretch of the imagination to continue seeing all this stuff get worse and worse and worse. Could we be on the brink of a slow Armageddon? Yes.

How many people and animals have died in the past 1, 2, 3, 4 years? I hate to be sensationalist, but, I think we have pushed the boundaries of the Earth’s environment too far. We should be checking all major fault lines, trenches, ocean currents, and wind streams…though this is far beyond anything our scientists can predict or interpret…too many complex systems interacting with one another. Let’s just hope there is no connection and these are really all just totally random occurrences or at least occurrences that have nothing to do with the influence of man…but can we honestly discount the impact 6 Billion+ humans have on this planet? I think not…and I don’t have to be a scientist to make that claim.
Hoping for the best, but quasi-
expecting the worst,
