No More Bees

The Independant has An Article on how mobile phones may be responsible for bees dissappearing.  This is being predicted to be the cause of famines because crops are going to fail due to lack of polination.  This is interesting because it’s a serious environmental issue, with a serious threat to humanity, but it’s not here being blamed on global warming.

What I think is important is that all this climate change focus doesn’t miss the point of other environmental issues.  Everything is getting lumped in with it.  People are blaming it with the bees too.  The real issue is that there is simply one solution to climate change being forwarded.  Less carbon.  If we’re not responsible, and if its happening no matter what we’re doing, then forgetting about all other issues and causes can be just as devastating, and mean we’re still stuck.

There’s lots of good things as a consequence of “carbon reduction”, recycle, drive less, is all less waste, less pollution.  Some things aren’t going to be fixed this way, and they may well need just as much fixing, and these aren’t even getting a look in.
