It's the Carbon, Stupid
Just yesterday, I stopped in my neighborhood to actually feel the flowers and plants. It was a beautiful moment.
I saw a bee doing its pollination jig and wondered: does a bee know that this plant species has evolved with it, to take advantage of its behavior? And if it is ignorant, what are we, then, ignorant of, in terms of species that have adapted to us? We all know about domestication of livestock, cats and dogs, etc. But what kinds of adaptations do we not know about?
Today, I find out that beehives are going fatally haywire because of our own greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, enormous numbers of human food crops won't get properly pollinated.
That was quick.
