> Climate becoming warmer isn't about to stop insects
I don’t think this is right. A good friend of mine is a PhD Entomologist. I asked her about the article last year that talked about the global crash in insect populations _including_ some remote islands.
Clearly chemicals and habitat are huge issues, but she immediately said “probably climate change”.
That surprised me and she said a lot of insects have quite narrow temp ranges and timelines under which they can reproduce.
