fuck all the non toxic or toxic chemicals in the world!

Really, this is just another reason to push for more enviomentally friendly products. Don't believe that the climate's getting warmer? Well try the fact that many amphibians and bees and who knows what is next are going exstinct. Why is that important? Well, I hope you have a lot of bug repelant and are ok with eating dirt and rocks.

Bees are diapering too. If they disperse then something like 80% of crops in the world will die. You should look up the bee problem. No one seems to care but it is a huge issue to the future of life on earth.

Good videos, just started watching them, not nice so many species going extinct, do they know what's causing this?

It's good to see the videos out there, I wouldn't have known about these otherwise, and that somebody cares. Hopefully, someone, somewhere will watch these and do something about it before it's too late :-(

... were you not watching the video?

they said like 5 times why they were dying off.

Kitrid (not sure of the spelling)

My apologies, I made this post after watching the 2nd video before I watched the first where Kitred is mentioned (got them mucked up and watched in the wrong order :-)) I was referring to the 2nd video where a number of man made causes is killing of the hellbender salamander.

According to BBC about 40% of living things have become extinct. Especially marine life. Chemtrails anyone?

-"The giant Mexican leaf frog's venom has been found to contain two peptides that reduce blood pressure by 50%, stop blood from clotting & can treat heart disease."

-"North American pond frog releases peptides that are known to inhibit growth of tumors. Thus, it could lead to new treatments for cancer."

-"The wood frog can get frozen solid, and reanimate. An amazing process scientists think will help organ transplants. Allowing tissues to be frozen & restored to help humans."

All this gone.

Cielo , I think what you meant to write was "all this will be gone" to illustrate what we're at risk of losing in the future.

Because the wood frog, the Pachymedusa dacnicolor (mexican leaf frog) and the pond frog are not yet in danger of extinction.

It's not just a frog problem. Amphibians and their health in the wild have been used for centuries as a measure of the general regional environment's health and humans have used amphibian health as an indication on whether a region should be abandoned and a new region (that can be crapped over by humans) should be sought. In this centure there's no new place where humans can flee to -- all regions are seeing amphibian extinction events due to humanity's shitting and crapping everywhere.
