Climate change: Welsh river temperature increases by 1C

Quite possibly their research takes this into account and it simply went unmentioned in the article, but there's at least a few other possible reasons other than climate change I came up off of the top of my head to explain the reduction in insect population (one of the biggest examples of problems) they cited.

> Increased use of pesticides

> Genetically modified crops having some effect on the entire animal ecosystem

> Water Pollution (whether chemicals or plastics) having some affect

> Increased Human development taking away prime animal breeding areas/food sources

To be credible to skeptics, I wish these types of articles would try and play a little devil's advocate and refute other possible causes of problems rather than just slamming people continuously over the head with climate change boosterism that isn't persuasive at this point.

1c in 40 years? Whats the bracket? There are entire forests that nolonger exist! What is this article?
