WUT? Nobody would lie to us to further their agenda would they?

The Guardian was trumpeting this drivel yesterday: Plummeting insect numbers 'threaten collapse of nature'.

Oopsie.

SO, if actual temperatures went down, and insect populations actually went down (as they claim!) then “global warming should actually result in more insects! Exactly as predicted and expected by logic.

On the other hand, if actual temperatures went down in that little area they sampled, and insect populations did NOT go down as skeptics believe happen because of the terrible measurement techniques around the one spot around a few trees that the did sample, then .. nothing (no increases, no decreases) happened. Except the government wasted even more money on global warming spending towards global warming goals of propaganda and hype.

Getting to where I don’t know what to believe anymore.
I wouldn’t expect a scientist to lie about something like that. I guess everyone could use extra grants and funding if they can scare some foundation or industry into providing it.

Now I wonder about the Colony Collapse Disorder.
Was that even real? Who benefited?

Someone needs to watch the old 1971 documentary movie -The Hellstrom Chronicle- about insects. As a film critic of the time said...”It makes you want to leave the theater and start stomping bugs!”

The climate change explanation might be a crock, but what about the decline in insect populations? Was that aspect real, or also based on a ridiculously small sampling area? And wouldn’t the hurricane that blasted PR in Sept 2017 effect insect counts...

One only needs to turn on the news to see “the insect populace” has not collapsed. The Leftists are still our there.

Like I said yesterday. Anybody with a shortage of bugs can come to Texas and get all they want. We have an overabundance of them.

Bugs don’t know how hot it is. These two pixies are crazy.

absolutely debunked. There was a fire ant convention in which the decision was made to protest the declaration of their demise by biting even harder. Just to remind us they’re there. They’re everywhere. Bwaaahahahhaa (evil ant laugh).

Cockroaches were here before we arrived and they will be here after we’re gone.

I would sorely miss my mosquitoes, flies, seed ticks and fire ants but if they can't survive this Global Warming crisis, well I will surely remember them to my dyin' day.

It got too hot on a tropical island for tropical insects?
How have the human beings in Puerto Rico survived it?

I have actually seen an insect population collapse. While working in the woods of north central Idaho, there were great numbers of hornets and yellow jackets that made life miserable for us. After Mt. St. Helens blew and coated the area with fine ash, there was’t a bug to be found in the woods. The ash worked into their exoskeleton and tore them up. It was nice to be rid of the bugs for a few years, but it was quite unpleasant for us as well, until the ash settled to the ground.

It has nothing to do with climate. Pull heads out of backsides, remove the emotional rejection of climate BS and recognize that a decades-long trend has been identified without clear cause. The bees are the most disturbing symptom, effects thereof which will become evident within about a decade if current trends continue. I know beekeepers and in consideration of the information available to me, the disaster on the horizon is coming and it certainly has nothing to do with climate.

One of many, many studies absent any climate bias whatsoever:

https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1046/j.1365-2664.2002.00745.x

I have noticed in my lifetime a definitive reduction in bird populations correlating to research observations. Birds eat insects. Think about what could be killing insects and bees...or don’t. But it has nothing to do with “climate”...

Save the pubic lice! The millennial grooming habit of shaving all hair way has drastically cut down the incidences and number of pubic lice.

Kamala Harris is a rumored safe space.
