It entirely obliterates the insect collapse myth in the US. It's not skepticism and caution it's being met with, it's in denial mourning and willful head-in-the-sand'ing at the destruction of a critical piece of propaganda. Accordingly the remarkable, honest, rational, brave and scientifically sound study must be attacked and stopped no matter the cost.
- ncmncm 6y agoOne study does not obliterate anything, even if the methods were not questionable. Look at the bumper of any long-haul truck and tell me insect populations are not down vs 40 years ago, and I will laugh in your face.
- marcus_holmes 6y agoAs others have said, that's got a lot more to do with improvements in truck design than changes in insect population.
- ncmncm 6y agoLook at the bumper of an actual truck and repeat that. I will laugh in your face again.

And stop laughing in my face. Or at least put a mask on first.
