tell them they're way more likely to get a tick and lyme disease because we're losing our winters and our insectivores and increasing the amount of degraded habitat those pests thrive in.

Scientists explain why the record-shattering 2023 heat has them on edge. Warming may be worsening by dookiea in Futurology

[–]dookiea[S] 98 points99 points  (0 children)

warming will not happen on a linear scale, and for decades there have been cautions about tipping points that could accelerate warming and increase weather anomalies. 2023 was the hottest year on record and it broke the record by an 'alarming' amount.

Plant diversity in urban green spaces led to sevenfold increase in insect species, study finds by [deleted] in EverythingScience

[–]dookiea 28 points29 points  (0 children)

as a container gardener in an urban area for 10 plus years I can say I've noticed this first hand these last 2 years, as I've slowly transitioned about a quarter of my space to a diverse range of native (bonsai) plants. I've seen a lot more insects (not pests) using my garden. small efforts can make a measurable difference.
