      Drought, famine and disease aren't increasing because of climate change, or because you can't kill enough babies. It is prophesy. It's happening because of the iniquity of man. And no matter what secular nonsense you ascribe it to, it will continue and worsen. Have fun with that.

      I have chronic Lyme, which ended my nursing career and any normal life. What angers me is that it apparently started at a US bio lab on Plum Island and was carried to the mainland by birds or deer swimming the short distance . The name Lyme came from the discovery of many sick children in Lyme, Connecticut.I have no proof of course but when we have all these research labs investigating (or creating?) bio warfare then anything can happen. Ok call me names but I think our globalist elites have been responsible for unspeakably evil attacks on the world population. Now we have found out that our govt brought Nazi scientists to America after WW2. I don’t know how we can overcome the corruption that’s like chewing gum in hair, pervasive at every level.There are so many engineered horrors -I think it all is culminating now into total destruction of life. “Woe to those with child in those days…” and omg some people already have gotten Elon Musk’s brain chip implanted.
      I’m old and sick ; I cannot march against the corruption.All I can do is pray for all living beings . I am Christian but I also love Tibetan Buddhist prayers that pray for the impossible , for an end to suffering for all sentient beings.🛐☮️🕊

    Lately, the talk is how to combat the results of climate change. We are missing the boat, because that is a losing battle as temperatures rise. The next thing, people will be trying to exterminate all these wild mammals which we also need to survive....balance of nature. We need to address climate change with seriousness, purpose, dedication, even passing laws that enforce earth-saving efforts and punish those who are adding to our eventual extinction as a species.

      As a society, i.e., Clean Water Act, we have laws...in place regulating every chemical compound and alloy under the sun that go into products.The problem is the lack of enforcement of the laws, lack of will, in the political world and the economic world, the power and dominance of money corrodes the power of the government to prosecute, so that all the politicians are bought off by Big Industry. The general public does not have a voice in the political life of the country big enough to compel politicians to enforce the laws.

      @@phoenixblanco3892 That is ridiculous a true progressive tax plan would tax property and nobody has to go extinct or to jail in the process of rebalancing man and nature...what is hard to address for Americans is taxing stocks, bonds, annuities, these financial instruments are lucrative and not taxed at all, they are also property, satisfying a true and progressive definition of property which accounts for mobile and fixed property. Republicans and democrats tax one kind of property and never tax the other kind, thus the entire tax burden falls on the average American who owns an acre, a house on that acre, a car or truck or both, a boat, a motorcycle, and has a job. Both are private property, the former are stocks, bonds, and the latter is land, building, income, ---private property also... the most heavily taxed property is working class property. Never taxed since 1980 in the US is the property of the rich. If you own a factory and you are polluting nature and killing life that cannot fight you back, or as a consequence of the pollution the life you kill is a threat to another species, or an entire ecosystem of species, then you should be tried for a crime against nature and your property will still be taxed...just a matter of what property is taxed more than others...that this society has rotten.

The Hubris it takes to present such a badly structured study of only 3 thousand species as expandable to apply to both known and unknown species of this planet is right up there with Jurassic Park.
