First the bees (yes, it still going on and getting worse), now the bats. What''s next? Most important, what''s the cause? Get the university researchers on this...they seem to be the ones always making breakthroughs. Or maybe the Danish...they''ve been making a lot of scientific strides lately. Whoever does the research, it needs to be done now so the cause of this decimation of species can be halted, reversed (if still possible), and steps taken to ensure it doesn''t happen again.

What happened to last years dire prediction that our veggies are threatened by a mass killing of honey bees.
Is this still a problem? Was it ever a real problem?
or did it fall off the news radar?

If you think you won''t miss the bats, prepare for a bumper crop of mosquitoes. (aka bat food)

It''s the Joker! Or the Riddler, I can''t ever keep those two straight.

It''s those annoying car stereos with the super bass tubes that ratttle the windows when the hip-hop is cranked up. They send out ultra-sonic pulses of energy that mess with the echo location capabilities of the bats.

Stone says warmer weather means bats hibernate much later, long after their insect food supply of insects is gone. So they enter winter with much lower fat stored.

Ok...blame this on global warming or climate change or whatever the proper term is today. It only makes sense if the warmer weather keeps the bats flying around later in the season then usual that the same also applies to the insects they eat.

I think there is a connection to the disappearing bees whether it be poisons and pesticides or something to do with sonic navigation.

The same thing is killing the bats that is killing people, poisons in our food and water. Thank you FDA for protecting the profits of corporations.

George Bush is biting the bat''s heads off

"Global warming? Use alternative fuel vehicles!"

Oh yeah right, sort of like bailing out the sinking titanic with a cardboard hatbox- too little, too late.

"Its those murderous chemtrails. I bet they''''re also the cause of the honeybees dying. This filthy government is continuously spraying the nation."

LOL chemtrails poisoning the country with secret chemicals and mind controlling substances, another moron who listens to too much Art Bell and WHitley Streeber on Coat-To-Coast AM. The Govt is evil and crooked, but not smart enough to do THAT.

Global warming? Use alternative fuel vehicles!
Overpopulation? Limit birth, except for endangered races.
Disease? Be health food vegetarian, or use colonics, or both.
War? Fight only aggressors.
War Crime? Tribunals.
Pollution? Stricter EPA
Endangered species? All of the above!
Crime? Criminology helps and a harmless vegetarian lifestyle.
