Scientists discover a soil bacteria that commits “ecological suicide”

A joint team of American and German researchers recently discovered self-destructive behavior by soil bacteria that should serve as a cautionary tale for us humans. A Cosmos Magazine article stated that excessively large populations of these microbes often commit “ecological suicide,” where they accidentally wipe themselves out by polluting their surroundings. In their study, the […]

Study shows that a loss of biodiversity can put an entire ecosystem at risk of extinction

Between the natural order of things and the way that humans have seemingly taken over much of nature, lots of different animal species have already gone extinct.

Chemical pesticides, industrial pollution and ecological destruction causing sixth mass extinction on planet Earth

A peer-reviewed analysis published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences classified this age as one of “biological annihilation” — one that has prompted the planet’s sixth mass extinction event. Scientists behind the study threaten that should no policies be made to address this issue now, we may soon be facing catastrophic biodiversity changes. […]

Bill Nye exposed as a genocidal anti-science lunatic who seems to want human civilization exterminated, reveals new science video

What’s truly amazing about all the hype surrounding man-made climate change and the supposed evils of carbon dioxide, which we’re all told is “warming” the planet, is that this popular viewpoint couldn’t be further from the truth. Elementary science has definitively proven that carbon dioxide is what our planet needs to thrive, yet anti-science propagandists […]
