“There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.”

- R. Buckminster Fuller

A recent New York Times article, entitled “Monarch Migration Plunges to Lowest Level in Decades,” began: “The number of monarch butterflies that completed an annual migration to their winter home in a Mexican forest sank this year to its lowest level in at least two decades, due mostly to extreme weather and changed farming practices in North America.”

It wasn’t until several paragraphs later that the concept of “changed farming practices” was more clearly defined, e.g. “an explosive increase in American farmland planted in soybean and corn genetically modified to tolerate herbicides.”

When such corporate-sponsored eco-terrorism is combined with the predictable, climate change-induced “drought and record-breaking heat in North America,” it should come as no surprise that species after species is impacted, threatened, and often driven into extinction.

As the Times explains, “The area of forest occupied by the butterflies, once as high at 50 acres, dwindled to 2.94 acres.”
