"WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE INSECT POPULATION?
"It’s going to go sky high! It’s going to explode. We’re talking about
agricultural pests. We’re talking about mosquitoes. And that’s going
to ripple through the ecosystem. And I said this to my colleague, Greg
Turner, the other day, ‘You know, I’m not usually a ‘sky is falling’
kind of person.’ And Greg said, ‘But you know the sky is falling.’ And
I said, ‘Yeah, I agree.’ It’s really tragic and I, quite frankly,
don’t see it being stopped at the moment. Then it might start
dominoing or rippling through the ecosystem at multiple levels. It’s
really almost hard to predict. But the sky is kind of falling."
Boy, chiropterphiles must love that Earthfiles gal. She's really good
at finding alarmists and spectacular quotes. Want to know my
prediction? Nobody in the areas where white-nose syndrome has killed
off 90% of the hibernating bats will notice the difference this
summer. Is Michigan, with no cave bats to speak of because it has no
caves to speak of, noticably more buggy than New York? Is Dallas, far
from the huge Texas bat caves, with populations vastly greater than
the paltry numbers in the northeast, noticably more buggy than San
Antonio? Get real.--Mixon
