Every study performed on insect counts has concluded that overall insect populations are declining, though there is not complete global coverage of data. One study in Germany found that the flying insect population had decreased by 75% from 1990 to 2015.

A 2019 survey of 24 entomologists working on six continents found that on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being the worst, all the scientists rated the severity of the insect decline crisis as being between 8–10.

Nothing scares me quite as much as the thought that I might live to see global ecological collapse.

Hell no I Wana see that ... People finally taking serious actions against it when its way too late ... There's nothing better then seeing rich people trying to buy stuff that can't be bought... And finally dying full of regrets knowing it was their and theyr families fault.

You wont see it, you'll die first because they're rich enough to prolong their demise.

Yeah go ahead and convince them , I have never even met in real life someone that slightly agrees not even to a big armed revolution but at the fact that there is something terribly wrong in this country 😏
