I'm 37.

I remember when I was 8, 10, 14. In the late 80's and early 90's. In the evening and night, bugs were everywhere if you drove. They were thick, like a fog all to its own. You needed windshield wiper fluid at minimum, and you'd have a hood-bug-stopper.

These days, I drive and drive and drive. And what do I not see? I don't see the clouds of bugs everywhere. I rarely have to use windshield wiper fluid - the majority was for bugs that just aren't there now.

I'm already feeling the life changes of climate change, and I'm in Indiana. It's no sealevel change, but its the very life; the bugs, the birds, the mammals, and plants that grow. I'm sure farmers feel it more, but given politics, it seems the farmers are against the idea of climate change - as it's some sort of democrat talking point... But we can just add more fertilizer.
