Quoted from robotron911:For those of us in our 40s or older, think about your childhood. Do you see bees, or even grasshoppers, lady bugs, butterflies, now like you did when you were a child? For me the answer is, "No". And it's not even remotely close. Climate and habitat change effect the lowest rung of the food chain first and work their way up. I am not a climate fear-mongerer, but the reality is that change is here and some of it is already irreversible.
95% of the public doesn't understand or want to understand that.
And for those not remembering them flying around but were driving - compare the amount of bugs on your windshield/ bumper now and 20 years ago.
Nowadays, almost none.. 20 - 30yrs ago you drove for an hour in summer and the bumper was black..
Indeed because too many pesticides are used.
