No insect food for the proles?

The premise of the article seems to boil down to this:

Declining insect population is a threat to farming, and farming is the cause of declining insect population.

>> Insect populations are declining worldwide at a rate of almost 1% per year. <<

The U.S. government can’t compute the illegal alien population to within 100%, but we’re supposed to believe they know the insect pop within 1%?

The elites make all sorts of promises and never keep them.
“Eat insects”, they said.
Well, we did.
Now we will starve.

The deep state has been poisoning the global environment with heavy metals and other toxins

Not as some kind of industrial byproduct. Deliberately poisoning.

I think I can predict things to come. When I glanced at the title, I said to myself β€œThey’re gonna blame climate change.” And by golly, they did!

I’ve got to get one of those hats.

“Insect populations are declining worldwide at a rate of almost 1% per year.”

Really? And who does the census of the global insect population every year?

It’s getting warmer, and there are fewer bugs.

We’re all going to die.

The thrust of the article can be summed up in one old, simple rhyme:

When in panic and in doubt,
Run in circles, scream and shout!

I’m betting most of the insect population has been in China, where they dont’ care about the environment. Just like the former Soviet was a giant toxic waste dump in many places.

Don’t tell them, but, its the giant windmills. Those things are killing the whales and now the insects.

So, don’t tell them since they won’t listen. It’s a climate change thing and the windmills are necessary, even if they kill all life on the planet.

(That’s my theory and I’m sticking by it)

I thought warmer gets us more bugs. I think warmer, colder, or no change just get us more government control.
