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.

Not my experience. I went back to the home I grew up at in rural Kansas last summer. Middle of nowhere. No pesticides. No fertilized fields within 6 miles, so no pesticide overspray. Not experiencing drought or too much rain.

The lower number of insects, particularly pollinators, was noticeable immediately. As were grasshoppers. And, my "childhood" would have been almost 40 years ago, not 20, if that makes a difference in your statement.
