Drop in insect and butterfly numbers has nothing to do with climate change. It is due to pesticides being pumped in unprecedented quantities into nature and monoculture agriculture.
- AlexandrB 4y agoIt doesn't have "nothing" to do with climate change. Climate change probably contributes to habitat loss as weather becomes less favourable for some species in areas where they could probably survive before. Pesticide use the is cost you pay for cheap food, meat heavy diets, and other benefits of living in "western" society. Sure we could grow food without pesticides, but it would cost more. It might also require more land - which would probably also impact insect populations.
