There is a Wired article this month that goes into some detail about why the bees have been mysteriously disappearing. The long and short of it is if the bees disappear so does our food source. All but the ocean at least and we are wrecking that too. Nobody knows what peripheral impact global warming and pollution may have on the ecosystem and sure as shit it will be some seemingly innocuous thing like a bug or a bacteria that will be our undoing. Lets hope nature is fault tolerant enough to save the human race. The only trouble is it will probably be a small fraction of the population saved.
