Please listen...We do not have a drought problem in Texas or anywhere else that is not immidiately unsolvable. We do not have a flooding problem in this country that is not immediately unsolvable.
We have flooded areas of the country that we can use to hydrate the parts of the country that need water!
Yes, we will have to filter and clean up the water.
Yes, we will have to ship the water to the dryer parts of the country after draining it from the flooded areas!
Please.... More

As the pollution from our growing human population grows to fill up the ocean and build mountains of trash and junk, more wildlife will die, until our planet dies, and we all die and go extinct -- unless we safely recycle 100% of all our garbage, sludge and scrap, beginning immediately. Then peacefully reduce our human population with gentle family planning to about 3-4 billion. Then there would be plenty of jobs and resources for everyone on a healthy planet.

That professor is a kook. Im not saying he's wrong, but he definitely has little public speaking skills. He comes across as someone without all of his marbles.

Prophecy is being fulfilled..The Bible tells the truth, should we listen to man or God you will know the reason why these things are happening in the world.

In search of science leading to the restoration of balance and sustainability......

Where are the experts? A deafening silence has vanquished science when it really matters. We are witnessing crimes against science and humanity, I suppose.

Would professionals with appropriate expertise please examine the extant science regarding human population dynamics and human overpopulation of Earth? How can this knowledge be used to move the human community from the dangerous and patently.... More

If the expert you're about to interview doesn't know anything more on the specific issue than the person conducting the interview, don't waste my time along with yours in the first place. The tone of voice on leading questions made the interviewer appear to know more than the man appointed to give us, the public, the answers to these important questions.

Considering birds eat fish and other things out of the ocean. Maybe what killed the crabs and fish is what killed the birds. Birds sweep down, eat the sickly oceanic animals, they all die. End of story. You think the anti-christ is really going to give us time and hints to prepare for his wrath? Please.

The protective magnetic field surrounding the earth has gone nuts as it did 780,000 yrs ago. When this happens, the north and south pole flip in some cases. They r doing so this time. Birds need that magnetic field in order to get direction on where they r going. If the compases at airports are as backwards as the news say it is, then the birds are disoriented and flying down instead of up. Thus, killing themselves.

there are a lot of silly folk on here. the Bible doesnt say that birds will fall from the sky as a prophecy of end time , i dont believe. it does prophecy a lot of things that will happen before that dredful day comes, but it doesnt give us specifics to watch for as far as animals does it, thew Bible tells us a lot to look out for in order to recongnize the anti christ, and the things that he will do to try and fool people into believing that he is God . check out....

That all sounds interesting and scientific, but may we remind you, birds have been flying our skies since the dawn of time and rarely have you heard reports of large quantities of birds just dropping to their death. Which leads one to wonder is there some fundamental shift in our ecology going on or is this just too much of a series of fluke random events? And how long before us humans start dropping out of the sidewalks?

They already do! In every big city everyday the homeless, the drugged and abused, the forgotten, and the elderly-they die in the streets- and we cry about the birds and fish! What a sick world we live in!

Brace yourselves because the best is yet to come. This is only the a touch of what is to come.Read the bible for yourselve and ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes and let you see fullness of truth and get clear understanding of what is going on.

The bird and fish issue could be caused by naturallly occuring methane in a body of water. Officials should look for methane gas plume as the cause of this catastrophe.
