Let’s start a rumor that it’s from Twitter emissions.

I just watched a story from Sky News about coral reefs.

The environmentalists cherry pick the data to claim that we are losing our coral reefs due to climate change.

The truth is that the coral reefs are cyclic and currently, we have more coral reefs than ever.

Everything is being manipulated and manufactured to advance an agenda and there is very little to no pushback.

From the article:

For its part, the BBC trumpeted that a drop in the bumble bee population was driven by “climate chaos.” The report cited Tim Newbold of University College London (UCL) as saying that bumblebee distributions are moving northwards in Europe and North America, “as you’d expect with climate change.”

Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Oregon each have zero or close to zero American bumble bees left, it asserts.

I'm confused.

I predict that the bumble bee will outlast homo sapiens.

There are over 16,000 known species of bees in seven recognized biological families.

The genus Bombus (bumble bee) includes approximately 250 species found primarily in temperate regions of North America, Central America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

“They just won’t stop”

You know, it is impossible for an event like climate change to be 100% bad. Why is it we never, ever see a positive story regarding climate change?

A longer growing season would be one such positive.

I’m pretty sure urbanization of grassland, introduction of foreign aggressive species, overuse of pesticides in crops, and burning of arable land is actually the cause of the decline.

Bees have a new generation every year so their rate of evolution is far faster than humans and they will adapt to whatever comes their way. Things can be made easier for honeybees but they are not going extinct.

I’m still waiting for one cockroach species to go extinct.

Insecticides had nothing to do with killing bees. Nah. It was climate change. /s

What a load of crap. I live in North Dakota and there’s plenty of bumble bees in my garden and deck planters.

~~~

I have seen them plenty just this summer. In fact, I think I have seen bumblebees on flowers more often than honey bees.

Also, I have learned that carpenter bees love wood painted white. But something I never knew as a kid, the cute fuzzy bumblebees are not the ones making the holes in wood. I always thought they were.
