Re: General Wildlife Thread

Congrats on the success, do you know what's been killing them off?

Not a clue. I'm not sure how far the issue has spread, but I've heard of it in the news the past few years that they've been dying off in huge numbers. When I saw a kid, I used to see the caterpillars everywhere, and now they're virtually impossible to find. Obviously nothing's eating them, as they're toxic, so it's something environmental. Possibly climate change.

Re: General Wildlife Thread

Climate change would be a giant assumption. . . It would envoke mainly the fact that their behaviors have been altered do to temperature changes provoked by warmer waters, faster ice caps melts, and less snow piling on the polar caps. . . Sometimes animals just shift their locations, and most of the time it's either because of a new species in the area out competing them, or its a lack of available resource. Which we could then break down as why is their a lack of resources, and see what's respondsibile for that. But just to say Climate Change is dangerous wording IMO for what it's worth.

Except I didn't say it's climate change, did I? I said possibly climate change. If you'd read what I actually said in context, you'd see I was saying that it's obviously not a predation issue because monarchs are toxic, so it's an environmental issue, possibly climate change, as that is a big environmental factor for many species.

I don't think I could have possibly worded it any more clearly. You shouldn't attack someone's wording and then say it's different than what it is.

Re: General Wildlife Thread

Not attacking. Clarifying, dont jump the gun on something like that. I read it clearly. Possibly is suggesting that it's possible, which honestly it's not. Just trying to point that out. No need to be defensive on someone clarifying a suggested topic.

You said I shouldn't say it's global warming, and I never did. The end.
