The Extinction Event Gains Momentum

The Great Suffocation

Imagine for a moment that phytoplankton, the foundation of the aquatic food web startlingly dies off. All of a sudden gone! Phytoplankton feeds everything from microscopic zooplankton to multi-tonne Blue Whales (the largest animal on Earth). But first and foremost, every 2nd human breath is oxygen produced by phytoplankton. Without phytoplankton, life dies.

According to Dr. Boris Worm, marine research ecologist at Dalhousie University and head of the Worm Lab study of marine biodiversity: The planet has lost 40% of plankton production over the past 50 years, primarily as a consequence of climate change/global warming. “We are changing the geology of the planet. We are changing the ocean chemistry… The anthropocene means that what happens to this planet is now in our hands.” (Boris Worm, et al, Global Phytoplankton Decline Over the Past Century, Nature Vol. 466, Issue 7306, July 29, 2010 and interview in Racing Extinction)

It;s not the heat or the storms that will kill you it's when you can no longer breath without buying Amazon brand Oxygen!

We are doomed.

Send me all your money.

Soon, you won't need it, right?

Just to let y'all know: I've been issuing the "send me all your money" challenge for a few decades now and nobody has sent me money. Someone "did* send me a Taco Bell kitchen clip that looks like an alien artifact. Otherwise, zilch. I am so disappointed in you.

By "All" do you mean both dollars?
