What's to be baffled about?
The food chain is falling apart, from top to bottom. Starving polar bears, dying seals, starving birds, overfished and collapsed fisheries, corals bleaching and dying, microfauna whose shells are literally dissolving in a more acidic ocean.
Get the DNA sequenced now, and maybe in some future, if we still have one, we might be able to bring species back into existence, if we can ever reverse the damage we've done. We're in the next extinction event already.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
