Dead birds and fishes and no answers yet. Should we guess?

Carol Forsloff - There
are dead birds reported from Arkansas to Italy and points in between,
along with dead fish in California and Arkansas, and sure to be other
places, but there are no answers yet.
Every expert and reporter
is guessing, but the range of answers reveals they simply don't know.
So why not say that, when speculation confuses.
The fact is the
air has toxins, and those toxins have been increasing too. The volcanic
ash created some of that, the toxins in the atmosphere from various
types of pollution are part of the problem as well. But is this the
answer as well?
No one knows, and everyone guesses with every
article that comes out these days. In the Huffington Post, a writer
reporting on dead birds in Italy tells us the authorities say the cause
of the deaths is indigestion.
Now all of us could have guessed that.
Someone
asked me last week for the reason, and my theory is air pollution,
because air travels everywhere with the breezes, and there has been
enough trouble in the atmosphere that has impacted the weather and
everything else, it's the only thing that makes sense after all.
I won't theorize further. I've said enough, likely too much like everyone else.
I
don't know; you don't know, and it is likely those who believe it a
sign of the end times don't know even though they would like.
It's
anyone's guess, so just ask the neighbor, since everyone these days has
opinions on everything, even if he or she hasn't read about a subject
and only has breezed through WalMart discussions or brushed up to Fox
News now and again. That's the level of reporting on bird news, my
friends, and that is all I too have to report.
