Pesticides are thought to be important drivers of these declines. Herbicides are the most widely applied type of pesticides and are broadly considered ‘bee safe’ by regulatory bodies who explicitly allow their application directly onto foraging bees. We aimed to test the mortality effects of spraying

While true, roundup for example has been used since the 70s. The same for industrial applications of pesticides and herbicides. Something else we don't know about has brought the hammer down on insects over the last decade.

I've been stung by a bumblebee but it was the result of human error. My brother didn't tell me that his compost bin had been occupied by the bumblebees so when I dumped grass clippings on them they got angry and one stung me on the forehead.

this is a few pages back, but they stopped automatically giving out single-use plastic bags in supermarkets in australia about three years ago, and after a brief national temper tantrum by old people, everybody just adjusted and now the situation is genuinely much better re: not seeing every second shrub and tree shrouded in discarded plastic bags. it's a drop in the ocean (sorry), but i think it did make a tiny difference and in the end it wasn't as socially catastrophic as the boomers claimed it would be. australians are almost as obnoxious and lead-poisoned as americans, so it opens up possibilities.

Maybe it's excluding China because it's still a developing nation or something? Edit: You can take a look at the data yourself if you want to https://twitter.com/jasonhickel/status/1449344756169981956

actionjackson posted:is china seriously not on there they burn coal like crazy the key part is "their fair share", China is enormous so they get an accordingly enormous share. They're putting out a lot of heat but not more than they were budgeted for, unlike everyone else in that chart It's why Belgium outranks them on that chart even though Belgium is a tiny fraction of China

quote:There are various existing approaches to measuring national responsibility for climate change. Negotiations and agreements under the UNFCCC are focused on current territorial emissions. Based on this approach, China's responsibility is more than double that of the USA, and India comes just behind the European Union (EU-28; table 1). When it comes to climate change, however, what matters is stocks of CO2 in the atmosphere, not annual flows; so responsibility must be measured in terms of each country's contribution to cumulative historical emissions.1, 2Using 1850 as the base year, the USA and the EU-28 are about twice as responsible as China, whereas India is responsible for only a small fraction of historical emissions (table 2). Table 1, Table 2 use the PRIMAP-Hist dataset,3 excluding forestry and other land use.
