I never knew that insects came out according to a calendar. I thought they came out when it was warm. Who knew. Instead of making the case that insecticide kills bees, they go straight to climate change.

Of course insecticide kills bees. That is why farmers adjust the amount, type and when they apply insecticide.

“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.”

aaaaaandd . . .

WHO forced declines in farming is a threat to humans, and humans are gonna eat insects, so stop farming, starve off the humans, and save the glorious bugs.

It’s a Three-fer!

Those things are killing the whales and now the insects.

They've been killing birds for quite a long time. Somehow, when it is windmills killing off life on Earth, it is just fine with the "Save the Planet" people.

[beethovenfan]

They don’t want to be eaten.

[Bounced2X]

No insect food for the proles?

Maybe people have been eating them. It's what the powers want isn't it?

When the Green Plans of the Democrats and their Allies have worked their poison. They will be thankful and glad to get an insect to eat. A rat will be a delicacy.

This is the latest enviro buzz. It’s nonsense.

[unclebankster]

Bill Gates ate all of them......yum....yum.

[Bounced2X]

I’ve got to get one of those hats.

Carnac the Magnificent, "mystic from the East" the great seer, soothsayer, and sage, who could psychically "divine" unknown answers to unseen questions.
A true visionary.

So instead of eating insects can we go back to beef and conserve the insects now?

[Organic Panic]

(insert problem here) = GLOBAL WARMING

[dforest]

Yes, they are geo-engineering and that is ruining our environment and killing off species. Many birds and insects have become scarce. This time of year where I live there used to be lots of butterflies. Not very many anymore.

There is a very wealthy guy who gave up his lucrative career to start a farm in rural England(?) He realized that the bees and other insects were disappearing from his a acreage. He made a wet zone on a suitable spot and the insects began to multiply and pollinate his crops. The show in on cable

[RetiredTexasVet]

Stopping the geo-engineering spraying of Gates’ block the sun sulfur will fix it.

[redfreedom]

The answer is simple, the leftist useful idiots are eating them like they were told, and they are happy doing it.

[Seruzawa]

A few years ago the wackos were claiming that climate change was killing the honey bees and that due to lack of pollination we would all die. Turns out it was a mite. Some bees died, some didn’t and now they are back. But, when the honeybee population was low I had a lot of the smaller black and white native bees all over the place. Garden and crops were fine.

The evil freaks just love to frighten people.

[hinckley buzzard]

Only took half the page for these phonies to bring up the “warming climate.”

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

A census isn’t needed if you have personal evidence. I remember as a child the car windows and front grill got covered with dead sticky bugs from n long trips. That doesn’t happen any more. Last year I drove 10,000 miles on interstates and through farms with nary a bug.

People need some understanding of ecosystems and ecology to realize that the negative implications and unknown consequences of insect population reduction are alarming. They are possibly the canary in the coal mine.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Poor things scurried into government.

[Bikkuri]

They must be eating them all.. o.O
