    Article is non-scientific headline bait. Vote this boolshit down.

    The fish kill was likely from the monstrous underwater earthquake that hit the Philippines. Which triggered tsunami warnings in the country and in Japan. Funny thing, the word “earth” doesn’t appear in the article, let alone “earthquake”. How odd to leave such a significant thing out of consideration.

    Yes, global warming is hell, and it’s here and now. This has nothing to do with that.

    Yes, Fukushima’s release of barely radioactive water is a non-issue. Here’s an easily understandable take on water and radiation.

      I didnt get the impression they were making any definite claims ‘But no one has been able to confirm the cause. “The cause is unknown at the moment,”’

About

Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.

Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more…

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
