Methane caused rainfall frequency effects on micro-climates / fragile ecosystems of desert crusts are existential threat. Needs attention.

Native burrowing bees are unable to maintain homeostasis, dying out. Slugs and crickets and dung beetles are struggling. Ants are migrating.

All my friends are struggling, these linchpin species that ecosystems depend on are most affected by the fluctuations in ground climates.

And as deserts grow as the deaths of fragile lichen metabolisms, dust gets kicked up in the air, triggering more rain. Vicious cycles all.

Human caused micro-climate change: We killed the large pooping animals, and built roads, water evaporates instead of seeping into ground.

Why is methane bubbling up from the russian permifrost? The lichen are dying.https://t.co/OFlZ28sOg3It's the rain: https://t.co/qJ6KZ7jXzn

Our planet is dying form bottom up. While everyone is looking at the smog in the sky. We aren't looking at the ground, CO2 is a side effect.

I am sicked by our petty squabble over climate change. Desertification and frequent rainfall are the problems to focus on. You're all wrong.

Nature doesn't care about identities tied to your stance on global climate change or some average number. The planet is already dying.

Strangely, in fighting off acid rain, we might actually be increasing methane. We're so fucked. https://t.co/Adcec9Z4cU
