Scientists say Earth is headed for its sixth mass extinction

If you think it will rain, then carry an umbrella.

Nobody wants the worst to happen, but all eventualities must be prepared for. Maybe it's fine, but on uncharted territory, the worst can happen. It can reduce anxiety to be ready for that.

Ive got a water bottle with such fine microns it can filter piss in the worse scenario and swamp or puddle water with bacteria and disease into pure drinking. Max life is 10,000 liters and the first filter needs cleaning occasionally if solid crap builds on it.

are bees actually dying or is that just an urban legend?

They are dieing off from what I saw on a documentary. They think its a bug in their gut and they think its because of too much spraying of chemicals that have weakened their natural immune systems. Thats their best guess so far. Chinas pear region pays people to stand on ladders and pollinate the trees thats how serious it got over there they had no bees left not sure if they've introduced some now I imagine they would try.From memory the sth African bees are doing ok but others are dieing off fast.

I've seen literally about five bees in last two years

Swarms of the fuckers when I was a kid

there used to be loads of the fuckers on the streets at night, virtually every time I went out of the house at night there was a hedgehog knocking about

I heard the world would end fast once the bees died


I heard that in a film, I cant remember which one it was tho

Is there anything I can do to speed up the process, I want to do my part

It's better to be safe than sorry. One must try to restrict ones harmful impact on the world and when things go wrong, as they logically will, then be prepared. Too many go through life without thinking about the future and have a 'I could be dead tomorrow' attitude. It is true that you could be dead tomorrow, but what if you aren't and you are in an overpopulated planet with diminished resources? These are important things that people MUST think about. That is why people need to wake up today and resist tyranny. Right now they are planning to destroy the wonderful UK with fracking. Sure, some companies can make quick profits, but if we care about the future then we should worry and therefore take action. Lazing on the sofa getting fat isn't an option.

Wonder which will finish first - the earth or Game of Thrones ?
