    1. What facts are you hunting for ?
      Fact: the temperature has gone up in that area. We have the records.
      Fact: the bees have moved.
      Fact: the plants the bees pollinate have moved.
      Fact: you can only go so far up a mountain, then you are coming down the other side.

  1. I was saw bees in Canada mountain with homeless talking about elections and smoke hash then I ask them why all this land owned by Queen and we do not have any technologies so many salvation army

  2. Insects can’t stand cooler temps you have wit, especially bees and wasps. What garbage, your station should be abolished

  3. Maybe the earth is entering a different space in our universe?
    CLIMATE change is true, BECAUSE IT’S A NATURAL THING!
    Yes MANUFACTURERS are using bad practices the cause POLLUTION.
    EXAMPLE: MAKE A LIGHT BULB LAST MORE THEN 3 MONTHS!
    30 YRS IS ACCEPTABLE! NOT 3 MONTHS OR LESS!
    There are literally millions of items that are produced poorly!
    ITS CALLED QUALITY!

    1. Which would be interesting to see if it’s in the same ball park as the other environmental factors that we’re experiencing this year due to a rapid decreases in pollution that happened.

      Remember climate change and weather are too different things.

  4. Yes in this made up liberal world the sky can fall, the moon is made of cheese, Trudeau is ethical and bees use tiny ropes to mountain climb cause it’s too warm outside. You have all gone insane.

  5. No, they’re climbing mountains to escape the 5G that’s decimating their numbers. Nice try, though.
