“Global warming”, obviously.
Someone better tell the beetles to get with the global warming program. Their destruction of forests will prematurely release lots of CO2. Perhaps the rats can impose a carbon tax on these critters. These critters better send some donations to the rats or they may face extermination.
“on track”? Is someone feeding the beetles a lot of metrics on this then?
Yep that's the claim. The winters aren't cold enough to kill off the beetles. (not that they ever were, but the average sheeple doesn't know that)
