If tigers are so important to the ecosystem how is the ecosystem still around when 97% of them are dead?

I don’t want to see tigers disappear, or elephants or honeybees. There’s a conservative critique of enviro-fascism, but that’s not it.

If tigers are so important to the ecosystem how is the ecosystem still around when 97% of them are dead?

They say the dinosaurs all died out. But we’re still here so clearly life went on.

Nature is not a finely balance top that can be toppled with a tiny push. It is adaptive and resilient.

Nature, on this planet anyway, abhors a vacuum. One species dies, another will take its resources. And then another species will come along and eat that one. And so on and so on.

The Einstein honeybee quote is (in all likelihood) a myth.

I like that one.

I had a bumper sticker printed last fall with a line I attributed to Einstein: “Insanity is voting for Obama again and expecting different results.”

Pretty funny actually; it shouldn’t be too hard to find on Google.

Perhaps it was on one of his previous four annual lists …
