Relax, bees were already wiped out in some regions with heavy pollution in China, and what happened was humans were made to do the work of the bees - which it turned out was cheaper than depending on bees !
In case we do lose a large part of the ecosystems humans can still survive on potatoes - 2 billion people already survive on rice / root plant , so the only thing lost would be luxury items enjoyed by the top 40% of the human population.
Maybe it will push them to worry about more serious stuff like sea level rise ?
There is always liquefied cockroaches.

- honkycat 8y agoThere was this great quote from writer Kara Brown that goes: "If I Need a Gas Mask, I’d Rather Be Dead" I honestly agree with that. If all I have left to eat is liquid cockroaches, I'd rather be dead.

- dec0dedab0de 8y agoI think that is just part of the cycle. Life will get difficult, many will die, less people would mean less pollution, and then the earth can clean itself until things are nice enough for people to multiply and ruin things again.
- pvaldes 8y agoYup, human workers seeem to be cheap... in China. And children would be even cheaper. All advantages. On the other hand the idea of eating fruits cultured in heavy polluted areas seem... maybe not our brightest idea.
