You didn’t bother to look up who these bozos were, did you. It isn’t that hard. Here’s a hint - http://sun1.rrzn-user.uni-hannover.de/Geobotanik/indexeng.htm How big a group is this? Well they even tell you that. They work in 610 square meters of space (5,500 square feet). I bet Danny’s house is bigger than that.
The real question is, if global warming is having such a profound effect on insects that they just can’t survive any more, why can’t we measure this change with a thermometer? Yes, we have measured some small changes but nothing like the natural annual differences. They talk about “record sea temperature” which is news to those who have actually measured sea temperatures and found them falling during this period. If it is getting hotter, let’s measure the temperature rather than depend on the extrapolation of a few students looking at a few bugs and making up facts to justify their funding by claiming the end of the world is imminent.
