Herds of sheep are forming large circles and walking them for days on end:
“Hundreds of sheep walk in a circle for over 10 days in N China's Inner Mongolia. The sheep are healthy and the reason for the weird behavior is still a mystery. Veterinary doctors suspect Listeriosis disease may be the cause.
Listeriosis is an important infectious disease of sheep and goats most commonly causing encephalitis, but also capable of causing a blood infection and abortion.
Symptoms of Listeriosis include depression, loss of appetite, fever, lack of coordination, salivation, facial paralysis, and circling”

The end of the Mississippi River.
It’s stunning that this is happening at just +1.5C when it’s only the year 2022. Whether intentionally or not, we have vastly underestimated every aspect of our Biosphere’s collapse and we continue to make decisions going forward on seemingly intentionally flawed reasoning – this is the kernel of eugenics underlying our leaders’ behavior:
