We should worry about the threat to area crops, to be sure. But we 
should also be worrying about (can't we at least rise to "taking notice 
of"?) this further piece of evidence that biological systems are 
breaking down, all around us, in front of our eyes. And surely it is 
obvious that our (Homo "sapiens") own fate is tied up with this 
advancing breakdown?

But what will it take to get our attention on such matters, as opposed 
to American Idol?

We're in the shit deep, and we don't even notice the smell.
