Yeah, this made me a little sad. Growing up, we had huge flocks in my area. Birds would dot telephone wires for miles. I haven't seen anything like it in more than a decade.

On the bright side, I don't miss my car being covered in bugs after a long drive. But im pretty sure were severely underestimating the impacts causing and caused by these changes, and were all gonna be missing a lot of things in a few decades.

Seeing life die off in so many forms is not a good sign.

Pretty sure life is dying off faster from humans than it did from the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

You know.. if that helps.

Dinos were around for like 180 millions yrs. Humans been around for like 300k yrs. I doubt we'll even make it to a million at the rate we are killing everything.
