I don't. Others think this is alarming as well:

- rimliu 7y agoHow much stuff do you see in newspapers that is not alarming anyway?
- VvR-Ox 7y agoA lot, especially in the US newspapers. On the other hand the articles I linked to, contain serious science backed claims. Also I don't see much value for someone to increase fear of a mass extinction of insects. If a newspaper tries to increase the fear of migrants coming to your country on the other hand it helps the weapons dealers (people get more guns) and others. So why should they somehow use this fear instead of just telling what they do - that insects are going to go mass extinct?
