Environmental fear mongering is the easiest way to get research grants in Germany.
In that article there is evidence gathered by people over a 20 year period, its an amazing effort which in many ways represents the very best that science has to offer. We have no reason on the face of it to doubt their evidence.
You have dismissed it in 20 seconds with a casual smear and no evidence whatsoever.
Is it perfect and guaranteed to be accurate? beats me, but its a pretty convincing show by some obviously passionate people who love their insects, and yours is a pretty unconvincing effort.
Shame on you.
It's so deeply non-rational that there's not much we can do other than to ignore it until it goes away, or consigns itself to becoming a marginal Flat Earther style phenomenon.
I don't. Others think this is alarming as well:

On the other hand the articles I linked to, contain serious science backed claims. Also I don't see much value for someone to increase fear of a mass extinction of insects.
If a newspaper tries to increase the fear of migrants coming to your country on the other hand it helps the weapons dealers (people get more guns) and others. So why should they somehow use this fear instead of just telling what they do - that insects are going to go mass extinct?
