1. Most people don't realize that these signs are harbingers of our own future.

I started noticing that my car windshield wasn't getting splatted very much during the summer months about 4-5 years ago. Then there was scientific discussion of the decline in general insect populations.

Fine to have a clean(er) windshield, but the birds don't have their protein, the flowers and agricultural crops don't have their pollinators.

The die-off has been predicted for at least 20 years - mainly due to the insecticides used in commercial farming, as well as monocultures, etc.
