Geological records show correlation between falling CO2 levels and mass extinction events

March 18, 2024 - amphibians were no longer able to thrive, leading to their extinction. High altitude ecosystems, which depend on higher overall oxygen levels, became uninhabitable.

Consequentially, there were plant extinction rates greater than 60% and the extinction of Diadactes and Edaphosaurus, which were a plant-eating, reptile-like species. As the extinction events continued, Dimetrodon predator populations collapsed and up to 80% of all vertebrate genera died off. When phytoplankton ...

Gender dysphoria: Why isn’t Big Government talking about atrazine?

August 18, 2023 - amphibians, reptiles, and human cell lines. Studies also indicate that atrazine reduces testicular volume, induces hermaphroditism, reduces testosterone, and induces testicular oogenesis. The PNAS authors remarked that despite the “wealth of data from larvae and newly metamorphosed amphibians,” the “ultimate impact of atrazine’s developmental effects on reproductive function and fitness at sexual maturity” has not been explored. Why not? Speaking of the need for ...

Alex Jones, RFK Jr., and Tucker Carlson all agree: Gender-bender chemicals in water are turning animals (and people?) gay

July 19, 2023 -

Despite being labeled a "thought criminal" by the establishment, Jones was right all along about what he said about chemicals in the water turning amphibians gay. Carlson also indirectly referenced the unprecedented defamation ruling against Jones that was delivered by the courts in 2022.

"Who are the thought criminals and what are they saying?" Carlson said at the event. "They're saying crazy things like water is turning the frogs gay. Ho ho ho! What a crazy person!...

Cold-blooded: Ron Gollobin never afraid to hunt snakes in swamps and crocodiles in the city

June 13, 2022 -

Gollobin said he felt utter freedom while hunting for frogs, lizards, turtles and snakes.

In junior high, Gollobin's interest in reptiles and amphibians picked up steam. His fascination with snakes also intensified under the tutelage of a classmate named John, an amateur herpetologist with a research-oriented approach to all cold and scaly creatures.

His reptilian education jumped from small, harmless snakes to deadly pit vipers. "I clearly remember the ...

NOT JUST HUMANS: Scientists say 5G radiation is killing animals and wildlife

February 06, 2022 -

The 150-page report, compiled by researchers at the University of Washington and Johns Hopkins University, contains three sections, the first of which looked at how environmental EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) have radically increased in recent years.

The second part looked at how living organisms are impacted by these EMFs. It reveals how "effects have been observed in mammals such as bats, cervids, cetaceans, and pinnipeds among others, and on birds, insects, ...

Only 3% of Earth’s land is ecologically intact, study finds

July 26, 2021 - amphibians.

So for their study, only parts of the world that were as ecologically intact as they were 500 years ago were considered wilderness.

The researchers also used the Human Footprint (HF) map as their index of human impact. The HF maps infrastructures, population or agriculture. It also predicts human impacts up to 10 miles on either side of linear features like rivers and roads.

When the researchers analyzed the maps and datasets on species ...
