In contrast, President Donald Trump has been a vocal…

As you will see below, North America has lost almost 3 billion birds since 1970. That is not a misprint. You may have noticed that the birds aren’t singing as much as they once did. That is because we have billions fewer birds than we once did. Of course, we are killing off the bees, too. From 2023 to 2024, beekeepers in the United States “lost an estimated 55.1 percent…
