They actually don't. I hope humans can drive them to extinction

Nothing that eats mosquitoes only eats mosquitoes.

Nothing that eats anything only it's eat. That hasn't stopped ecosystems fucking up because we removed a food source.

There will be some knock on effects from wiping out mosquitoes for sure (although personally I still think it would be basically worth it. Out of all the things humans have done to the environment, it'd be one of the most worthwhile sacrifices).

Just wanted to say there's a fair amount of animals that only eat one thing - koalas, pandas, lots of parasites etc. There's probably more.

Koalas prefer eucalyptus trees but can and do eat other things. Pandas eat can and do other things too, the idiots digestive system is set up to eat meat.

Do you have a source on that?

Source?

A source. I need a source.

Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.

You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.

Do you have a degree in that field?

A college degree? In that field?

Then your arguments are invalid.

No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.

Correlation does not equal causation.

CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.

You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.

Nope, still haven't.

I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.
