 Scientists Find Potential Clue to Bee MysteryPosted on Mar 30, 2012
It might seem somewhat obvious, but scientists looking for reasons why bumblebees have been dying in waves in recent years are pointing to pesticides as a possible cause, as the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

The sad truth is that “our” government is no longer concerned with the protection of its citizens but only with preservation of itself as an elite and corrupted institution and its financial puppeteers! FREE BRADLEY MANNING!!!!

I agree EmileZ
It should send shudders own the backs of aware Americans - and the rest of the world for that matter - that the relationship between Corporate Army Blackwater ( changed to Xe then to Academi) and Monsanto ( Biotech Giant, the Pesticides king) is snugger than a bug in a rug.
They have entered into an agreement to infiltrate activist groups to disrupt their agenda and to infiltrate the Internet and place Trolls to act as knowledge source commenters and authors to spin the agenda for the two nefarious organizations. It seems they must have a symbiotic relationship indeed, war against the public to produce profit.
Their relationship remains quite clear. Both organizations are noted for their crimes against humanity, and they really do have a twisted synergy of sorts. While they may not be owned by the same individuals, one thing is clear: the relationship between these two companies is enough cause for alarm.
The link to this story is Blacklisted - that should also be cause for alarm.

@EmileZ—you know, it would be funny if it weren’t so true!

That there are other problems does not mean that global warming is not also a problem.
They are all related to our runaway industrial production. Polution of air and water, habitat degradation, species extinction, global warming, even overpopulation and water shortage. They are all different sides of the same problem.
And those that seek to counter the problems have been fighting against each other as much as they have been fighting (or attempting do). It is not in the interest of the big polluters to have people paying attention even to the global warming issue. It is much better to keep the sheeple uninformed and compliant (at least from their point of view) and that is what they have been doing and are still trying to do through their think tanks, hostile take over of climate research institutes and misinformation internet sites and paid liars. And by starving the research of funds, combined with the natural tendency of scientists to look only at their own specialisation, they have been playing all sides against each other, ensuring no progress was being made. It is only when global warming gained traction as a rallying cry that the facade has begun to crack, and the polluters are currently still engaged in an arms race to see if they can plaster over the cracks faster than the scientists can tear down the facade.
But eventually everything will come crashing down one way or another. Our world can not support a billion people polluting at our scale, let alone if we triple or quadruple that number. Resources, ecosystems, climate and healthcare will collapse under such a load of entwined problems as that is already creating.

Unfortunately, we will probably put our greatest scientific minds together, not to tell us we should ban pesticides and GM crops, but to design robot bees (which can also serve as mini terrorist-killing drones or surveillance devices)to be manufactured in China.

Our atmosphere is being poisoned by Pesticides, Industrial waste,Genetic Engineering, and other damaging man made effects.
The problem seems to be that we have followed the propaganda path of Global Warming while ignoring what is more likely to do us in.
I started keeping up with specie die-offs back in the 70’s -remember the frogs, and acid rain? But it wasn’t just frogs, it was all amphibians, certain tree types, birds, grasses, flowers, you name it.
Rachel Carson blamed much of the problem on not just the use of Pesticides, but how indiscriminately they were used and how they were applied.
And these die-offs continue and I believe are accelerating up through today. But the powers that be, the 1%, got us all to arguing over that Global Warming thing, something that is not a threat to mankind because of earth’s temperature change. It has drawn the conversation away from the thing that in the end will kill all life including mankind: A poisoned
Ecosystem.
The Earth will recover over the millennial ages once the influence of man is removed. Its called healing.
