Few seem to realize how much our survival is at stake. If a 76% decline of insects was observed in 27 years in German nature reserves, the 'decline' would reach 100% in 36 years (conservatively, ignoring ecosystem collapse feedbacks). Meaning *all* flying insects in these nature reserves could be gone by 2027. Oh, and plants are in decline too. These are all assuming linear decline rates, while all we observe is exponential rates of change. That's not good. If 60 percent of the world's fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles have disappeared in the last 45 years, wouldn't the remaining 40% also disappear in the coming 30 years? We're not significantly changing that course of events, are we? And wouldn't we, humans, then be part of those remaining 40%? If not: What bees do we expect pollinate our crops? Are we going to create sufficient artificial biospheres in time for it to actually function as a stable fake-earth, a replacement habitat? Do we know enough to get the details right? Where are we getting the resources and funding for that? Who gets to go inside that fake-earth when wet-bulb temperatures or radiation levels become too high? We can't shut down…
