Are you listening, scientific experts?

This quote is priceless, from a story about decline in sea life (dead fish and birds) and a concurrent explosion of algae, but it could just as well be about the terrestrial ecosystem (dead trees and land creatures, and a concurrent explosion of lichen):

"The bias among investigators, myself included, is that we tend to look for just one factor. But what we have these days is a jumble of events, and we're left asking, 'What the heck is going on?'"
