Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy’s Seminal 2009 Paper: The Birds, the Bees and Electromagnetic Pollution – A Stark Warning for Wildlife and Humanity
Introduction
“Many of our birds are disappearing mysteriously from the urban environment and our bees are now under serious threat. There is increasing evidence that at least some of this is due to electromagnetic pollution such as that from cell towers, cell phones, DECT cordless phones and WiFi. It appears capable of interfering with their navigation systems and also their circadian rhythms, which in turn reduces their resistance to disease. The most probable reason is that these animals use a group of magnetically sensitive substances called cryptochromes for magnetic and solar navigation and also to control the activity of their immune systems.”
In The Birds, the Bees and Electromagnetic Pollution (2009), Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy warns that losing bees would have devastating consequences: “Without bee pollination, there would be very few brightly colored or scented flowers in the countryside or in our gardens, and many of our crops would be devastated. We would be left just with crops that are wind pollinated (mostly cereals) that do not on their own provide a healthy balanced diet, nor do they act as host to the friendly nitrogen-fixing bacteria that are essential to the sustainable fertility of our soil. This may be a very heavy price to pay for our unrestricted use of cell phones and other forms of wireless communication.”
Goldsworthy ends with a stark warning for mankind: “In particular, the immune system may never be able to summon up the overwhelming power that is sometimes needed to overcome pathogens or to destroy developing cancer cells before they get out of control. This could in part explain the increased risk of cancer often found in epidemiological studies of people living near mobile phone base stations. It may also be an important factor in the continuing reduction in the health of our bee population and its apparently reduced ability to resist pathogens.”
This paper is both a scientific examination and an urgent call to action highlighting that the decline of birds, bees, and other wildlife under electromagnetic stress is not an isolated ecological tragedy, but a warning signal for the future health and survival of humanity itself.
