It's still intellectually lazy to attribute things to climate change first and then use that as the basis to dismiss further investigation. Otherwise you might not look closer and realize the problem is due to something else. Maybe the reason the insects are disappearing is not because of climate change but because of some subtle chemical change in pesticides, water treatment, etc. |

Do you think the collapse of insects in the protected Peurto Rican rain forest could be because of pesticides? Maybe. But more likely because of the increases in intensely hot days that kill insects in huge swaths. Insects are incredibly sensitive to temperature.
There is nothing lazy about these studies. Climate Change is the most studied science in the world now. Nothing is lazy about the work they are doing.
