gasp! my sushi!
That’s probably not a good sign.
We have a gigantic industry based around making more bees that are genetically identical to wild bees. This seems like a really really easy problem to solve?
I don’t think it’s an easy problem to solve. If honeybees lack natural habitats and breeding places, adding more bees won’t solve anything.
It’s not only that, also the big accumulations of farmed honeybees in close proximity helps spread diseases (also to wild population), and the more Honeybees there are to produce honey for humans, the less natural food for the wild honeybees, as they compete for the same food sources.
One could say eating honey helps to decimate the wild honeybee.
We have to plant more flowers and certain trees, they love lime trees.
Yeah, that’s totally solving above issues.
Jokes aside, that’s also part of the problem, yes. The governments must legislate gardens and fields.
Advocates of capitalism are murdering us by ecocide.

if only we can avoid pushing this planet into a runaway greenhouse effect, so that once humanity goes extinct, nature can recover - at this point, I would call that a win. :(
I’m not that worried about that. The earth has been a lot hotter in the past, and will again in the future.
Yeah it will just undo millions of Years of evolution and drastically reduce biodiversity. But SOMETHING will survive.
Maybe post anthopocene extinction earth will just be algea, moss and cockroaches for a few hundred thousand years but after that … crabs and ants will reevolve to take over the world that is rightfully theirs!
I said “runaway” greenhouse effect, but you probably don’t want to look it up, it’s scary.
All the oil and coal being burned that causes it used to be organic matter, like plankton. and before those died and captured it, all that co2 was in the atmosphere, and the earth was much hotter.
no matter how hot it gets because of this, there will be life left. and we’ll likely die before we can make it bad enough that only single cell organisms survive. It’ll still be terrible and take a long time to recover. but life will be fine in the long run
I hope that this take is correct, but I am afraid that it may not be. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the planet was different in a lot of ways - and the thought of a human-made mass extinction event that also takes out a lot of mammals is quite depressing.
