Yeah ok.
Global warming too right?

Cars run on gas, therefore we wont give up driving just cause its bad for nature.
Most people run on cell phones, therefore we wont give up cell's just cause its bad for nature.

why do scientists bother to say stuff like that cause they know it wont change

You gotta try... If this stuff seriously means the end of the world, it takes repeated blows from a fucking big hammer to crack the thick skull of ignorance most of the population has grown.

/really bad metaphor

EDIT:

But I wouldn't mind giving up my cell phone... If it meant that I could eat.....

It might be too late already, no time to stop it from happening. Albert Einstein said something like " when all the bees die man dies 4 years later ". Well at least we have time to make preperations but who knows, we might be fucked.

His full quote

“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”

I heard a scientist studying Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) state that his studies show that bees are going blind. Strong UV due to Ozone depletion is burning out key areas of their eyes having to do with locating flowers, finding the pollen centers of flowers, and the bee’s navigation sensors. As a result, they burn up more energy trying to perform basic tasks, spend more time in search of their colony, collect less pollen because of their inability to locate it, and literally starve. Or they become so weak they succumb to disease.

Just imagine if cell phones are actually the cause..

You think the companys will do anything? Can they even do anything?

It would take billions of dollars to replace the current networks that we have in place.

And I mean, whats the alternative, because we all know people aren't gonna give up their cell phones...

i'd smash it myself to stay alive.

That thing with bees actually has really big effect on USAs economy. It was estimated that this year american farmers will lose over 40 billion dollars because of disappering bees.
Cell phones being the reason was just one theory among others. However, cell phones and military networks operate on same frequencies that bees use.

yeah wonder if this is going to become a WORLD WIDE PROBLEM where all of the nations decide to work together and bring bees back.

Another reason to get annoyed at people who use their cellphones 24/7. You're killing all those cute little bees!

Considering that Einstein said that man kind will end whithin four year after all of the bees die, I also found a correlation to this, which stated that Mayans said that the world would end in 2012? Could it be that all of the bees die bye 2008? humans will have only 4 more years to live?

This does not match with what Nostradamus predicted, Nostradamus said the world would end in 3000 something, but he said around this time a great nuclear world war would occur.

I think that time in the Mayan calendar is supposed to bring something terrible, but the end of the world is at a later date. Interesting though.
