Habitat loss due to human activities combined with climates shifting throwing off their life-cycles.

>>15667295
Increased and continued use of pesticides.

>you vill eat ze bu... where did they go?

Cell phone signals.

>>15667295
>pests become more resistant to pesticides
>pesticide dosages increase every time
>non-pest insects don't become resistant and die

>Ok, Mr. Goldenstein, I just finished my plate of bugs. Can I have some more?

>>15667295
Pesticides and herbicides happened.

>>15667295
>in 20 years we are eating bugs
Will they even still be there?

why can't technology genocide the mosquitoes, flies and cockroaches?

>>15669283
Because roaches, mosquitos, flies, agricultural pests, we create a hospitable environment for all of those. It's hard to genocide them when there's billion of them. Conversely there's like thousands of monarchs left.

>>15667295
Pesticides and ongoing+intensified agriculture more broadly basically.

>>15669292
we need to reverse this and kill all the bad bugs that feed on humans while keeping the harmless ones like butterflies alive

Same soience faggotry that's giving everyone autism and feminizing men.

Insecticides and pesticides killing them directly.
herbicides, fungicides, and unsustainable farming practices obliterating soil ecology and killing off a lot of their food sources. >>15669402
Its indicative of a dying biosphere which will mean less food meaning famine will come back

>OY VEY THE PLANET IS DYING!!!!
>I HAVE THIS LINES AND DOTS ON A JPEG TO PROVE IT
>QUICK, YOU GOYS GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY SO I CAN USE MUH SOIENCE TO FIX IT!!!!

Pesticides and herbacides are not required when you have a healthy ecosystem (in and around your soil) that balances itself and keeps bad bugs and plants in check. Also needed for good soil maintaining itself. But this is rather hard to do on the scale and efficiency of industrial agriculture. It's easier to add things to it as needed in a dead environment.

>>15669230
Pesticides and herbicides have been used for centuries, not just the last 26 years, even petroleum based pesticide has been used since the 18th century.

These guys get it. In a decade or so we will have entered a massive worldwide catastrophe due to massive decline in insect population, resulting in lack of crops for us to consume. 9/10 people will die. The Georgia guide stones were right.

>>15667295
they were all turned into food.

>>15667295
75%? not the mosquitoes i tell you hwat, those fuckers have increased 500% if anything. TOTAL MOSQUITO DEATH NOW. JUST DO IT FAGGOT SCIENTISTS, WHO CARES ABOUT THE WHINY ECOLOGISTS

>>15670434
The human population has also increased, driving the increase in agriculture and increased use of pesticides

>>15670489
Overpopulation is a completely different argument than chemistry bad.

>>15667295
Good. Fuck bugs.
>>15667967
>non-pest insects
No such thing.
>>15669283
IIRC they have some genetic thing they could release into the wild to kill them all that has worked to control malaria but they're too scared to use it on a larger scale. Meanwhile billions for gain-of-function.
