https://news.yahoo.com/insect-extinction-is-even-worse-than-we-thought-scientists-warn- 183951348.html The world is facing an insect extinction even worse than many experts had feared - with a drop in the number of species of up to one-third in just 10 years. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) collected one million insects at 300 sites in Germany between 2008 and 2017. They found that there were a third fewer species than 10 years ago, both in forested areas and grassland. READ MORE Insects could die out in ‘worst extinction since the dinosaurs’ Voyager, the Solar System and beyond Mysterious ‘gravity waves’ seen rippling in our atmosphere Declines in insect numbers can have knock-on effects on bird, lizards and plants pollinated by insects. In terms of insect biomass (the total weight of insects), the results were even more alarming, with a decline of 40% of insect biomass since 2008. In grasslands, insect numbers dropped to one-third of their previous level. Dr. Sebastian Seibold of TUM said: ‘Before our survey, it was unclear whether and to what extent forests were affected by the insect decline as well. ‘The fact that a large part of all insect groups is actually affected has not been clear so far.’ Professor Wolfgang Weisser of TUM added: ‘A decline on that scale over a period of just 10 years came as a complete surprise to us—it is frightening, but fits the picture presented in a growing number of studies.’ A report this year warned that the total mass of insects on our planet is dropping by 2.5% a year, meaning that insects could be wiped out altogether within a century. Birds, lizards and even plants pollinated by insects could become extinct, the researchers warn - saying that extinction rates among insects are eight times higher than among mammals, birds and reptiles. Francisco Sánchez-Bayo, of the University of Sydney, said in February: ‘If insect species losses cannot be halted, this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind.’ |

HI Eve, while there may be many overlapping reasons contributing to the decline of insect populations I suggest that one the most significant contributors is microwave emissions from cell towers, wifi, smart phones, and similar emitters. According to my observations and/or my readings there has been a dramatic increase in microwave emissions in all countries which have been overtaken by the world wide mobil phone industries. The insect decline basically follows the mobile phone emission increase. Unfortunately, for humans, insects, all other animals and plants, electromagnetic emissions do NOT disappear after the have communicated what they are supposed to communicate. They just go on and on and on whithout anyone knowing where they go. Energy does NOT disappear. This principle is one of the few fundamental building blocks of physics. Yet, politicians and mobile phone sellers alike pretend that nothing bad could ever happen from huge amounts of electromagnetic waves propagating into every corner of our planet, many orders of magnitude higher than anything electromagnetic seen since the advent of man. Then you add in all the biological resonance and interference effect being disregarded by said money and power grabbers and you have now, as one consequence of human greed and stupidity, a severe decline of insect population. According to my observations the bird population has declined just as dramatically. That is no wonder because birds eat insects. No insects no birds. sequoia |

It's a multitude of things contributing to the decline of all life forms in this world. Where I am I would say that pesticides are at the top of that list when it comes to insects....Especially Naled. |

Hi Eve, it may well be the case that in your environment the insects disappear primarily as a result of being naleded. In any case, I consider the insect extinction, which has been evident to many everyday people for years now, proof for a dysfunctional science. What are all these top notch high nosed dollares inflated professors and their slaves doing at so-called universities? And in their beer-reviewed highly respected well- known around the world academic paperworks? (beer is intentional here, not a typo) If it takes so-called science many times as long as the average routine normal citizen to get a handle on really extreme changes in the environment it speaks volumes about the quality of science. In my opinion science is largely controlled by the flow of money and no longer by the quality of ideas. Unfortunately, what can be said for insect depopulation research can also be said for "climate research". It creates extreme bias in science when funding depends on the prevailing political opinion. That, however, is becoming the norm. I sort of remember the ice-age warnings a few decades ago, perhaps as recent as the 1980s. Then came the age of the global warmers. About 10 years ago, when the global warming did not show up as warm as predicted, the wording was changed to climate change. Before long you will see that those same people revert back to becoming believing ice-agers. Then they may want to sell you fur coats from polar bears and other northerly creatures so you can stay warm in Florida. Most humans have a short memory span. Being a very observant person yourself you probably know that very well. Ten years is eons ago, especially in the age of smart phones which more and more replace human cognitive functions. I wonder how many people could these days find their way from San Francisco to Los Angeles without electronic routing assistants. In Florida where no mountains are in sight to provide visual guidance over long distances it may be much worse. Now, the alligators may benefit from lost drivers who end up in the Everglades instead of Disney World. sequoia |

We aught not be sciencing the earth like it's some experiment and thus destroying the earth and ourselves. If one cannot discern with thier own common sense what is happening is that the earth is being destroyed by the inhabitants who have seeded thorns and thistles no amount of man made science schooling is going to help it just makes things worse and increases the stupid factor. It's not open to debate with me. I said I am Eve and it's true, I remember what happened and how it was perfect, it was paradise then I got thrown into this garden of thistles and I know how it happens by disobedience to the true precepts, by trickery, greed and an force that is not natural. I was tricked once and it's not happening again, I trying to help when I share my testimony which I know is not believed now but maybe later and someone remember...or not...I just know I will not allow this to happen in new garden ever again and I will pull rank there. The science and physics stuff I know what that is I have a minor in college biology of this insane world. People may think they are wise when they are only wise in the ways of this world and I feel that is the lower order so I am not interested in conversing about that. |

p.s. apologies sequoia, I realize you don't understand where I am coming from...I mean who would ? it's not a common position and not something this world teaches but this world is not forever so I keep that in mind for myself. Time is almost over for this world...and time no more comes and a parting of ways....I have a sense it might be that a portal is opening between worlds as Mercury approaches transit in constellation Libra (Earth is in constellation Aries). I recall how crazy it was last Mercury transit in 2016, that's around the time when the snakes tried to trap me in their "martial law drill"and the U.S. porn race was in gear (more like out of gear but whatever)......Just saying things are going to get crazier in the next day or so and focus needs to be on soul survival, taking it to the ultimate level in that mode is what i am talking about. Okay, this probably sounds like a secret coded message and maybe so and could be it's not understood now, but might be later...not sure...just holding on to the true spirit of Hope. |

Hi Eve, I understand a lot more of what you try to say than you appear to believe. But I do not see a contradiction between what I am saying and your spiritual insight. True knowledge is true knowledge no matter where it is from, where it appears or how, who conveys it or when it appears. Unfortunately, human what-they-call science has taken a turn for ego and money. And it has turned into a religion of a self-appointed elite without even fractionally considering the spirit of nature. sequoia |
