You might not believe me, but the decline of the insect population (also on the frontpage) and the fall of test scores and the fall of sperm quality since the 90s have the same single origin.
And nothing is being done about it.
And nothing is being done about it.
You're right about that.
The timing of the decline in scores matches up pretty precisely with the start of covid shutdowns. Whatever you are alluding to (pesticides?) has been a thing for well before covid.
From the 90s on, test scores are falling, even if this specific data doesn’t show it.
I agree that what is seen here in this short-term data is the lockdown effect.
