    Extinction Event


    A bunch of German entomologists say the volume of insects they catch/observe has fallen by more than three quarters since the early 1980s. This is one of the biggest die-offs in the history of the Earth, and it's due to urbanization and intensive agriculture practices. They noted: "Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects as a whole will go down the path of extinction in a few decades." AFP
     
  2. Between Insecticides, weed killer, Antibiotics for every little cough, and destruction of rainforests and trees, humans will kill ourselves then the insects and nature can thrive again.

    Let's make robots pollinate most plants in the world (including those in ag) instead. -.-

    Unsure whether humans or the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs is the worst in terms of number of dead species.
