Insect Collapse The first global scientific review into plummeting insect numbers points to a "catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystems," caused by pesticide-focused agricultural methods, climate change and urbanization. Scientists say that, according to current rates of annual loss, we would lose a quarter of insects in the next decade and have none left in a century. Which means mass starvation of animals of all sorts, including us. Guardian
Lol climate change killing insects. Yeah, that extra .001 degree in the last 50 years is really slaughtering some of the most adaptable creatures on earth Sending a check to Al Gore now. He can save them!
Insects form part of the foundation of most dry land ecosystems and they are the most numerous part of the animal kingdom, period. If their numbers plummet we'll all have a big problem.
