Look almost anywhere and all the insects (and other arthropod like woodlice or crayfish) are gone. All the birds are gone. Some kinds of plants are extinct. It's often previously common species that nobody thought of monitoring. Earwigs, woodlice, common flies, etc.

where do you live? I live in a city of 2 million people and there's birds(including many* birds of prey), cats, squirrels, groundhogs, chipmunks, foxes, coyotes on the fringes.
Insects: all kinds. I've seen at least 10 different species of bee or bee mimic. I see all sorts of butterfly, beetles, jewel wasps.

OMG What a fucking moron.
1. Reason.com is a right wing libertarian shill sight that consistently lies, and takes the side of capitalism and its grift ever time. No one takes anything they publish as fact.
2. The reason bee populations in some area seem to be increasing is due to the bureaucracy of counting. Beekeepers with fewer than $1000 in sales are not required to report bee populations, but with inflation, there are now an estimated 23% more farmers with small hives that now have to report bees.
3. Wild bee counts are way down.
Take your /pol tier shit and choke on it, liar!

See >>16261861. Honey bees won't be allowed to go extinct. Honey bees continue to pollinate crops, humans carry on without crisis.

They have to make up fantastical lies to justify their cringey messiah complexes because the world isn't legitimately coming to an end and never has been. Life has thrived on Earth continuously for a billion years running and it isn't about to quit, its quite tenacious that way.
Thats why the doomsday crowd has to invent lies to justify their cringey messiah complexes and why their doomsday fantasy life where they get to play savior is necessarily always going to be disconnected from reality and a glaring tipoff of deeper mental illness.

the apiary bees were never the problem. wild bees were.
and America has actually been changing land use for the best in the last few years. it's the largest carbon sink in the country, too. so better land use equals better environment for bees. since they're still insects that reproduce very fast, populations can rebound quickly.

Moths are easy to overlook so they don't get much attention. Bees, besides their tendency to sting people, have long provided humans with honey so they're much higher profile and studied far more. The Science was so narrowly focused on bees that it didn't even notice the role moths play in pollination until quite recently.

This is pure cope. Bugs in general are disappearing. You don't need muh soience to tell you that. You can clearly see that this is going on based on personal experience. Firflies are almost non-existent even in rural areas today. I used to be able to catch a dozen fireflies in a single night as a kid living on the outskirts of Washington D.C., which is one of the most densely populated urban areas in the country. Today I wouldn't even see that many fireflies over the entire summer, even in a small rural town. The firflies are disappearing.
Anyone who isn't a braindead normie can tell the environment is changing. That being said, all the woke shitlibs who pretend to care about nature are dishonest lying cucks who are just being led by the neoliberal establishment to act as mouthpieces for the totalitarian green agenda that is a long term goal of the globalists, the technocrats, and the shitlibs.
The reality is that we are destroying the environment, but the primary people responsible are not the heckin antiscience republicans like all the woke leftists and normies want you to think, but rather the soi boi urbanite bugmen who insist on building massive cities and important trillions of dollar in cheaply made consumer goods from thousands of miles across the globe so that that literal trannies in San Francisco can buy cheap dildos and cell phones that will only last 2 years.
Like all form of normie culture and politics the environmentalism debate has retards on all sides. Anyone who says the environment is perfectly healthy is a retarded neocon republican, but likewise anyone who thinks the problem is muh republicans eating red meat and driving pickups is a retarded neolib democrat. The environment is absolutely changing, and urbanite bugmen and globalization are almost entirely blame.
