the catastrophe options seem to expand every day

Just now I read that according to a review of multiple studies the insects populations are collapsing even faster than the (already bad) expectations were before, which will collapse all ecosystems and our food supply fast (even faster than climate change).

And since it's been 2017 since I did the last version of this poll...

Poll #21348 why ratcreature should only look at pictures of fluffy baby animals, 2019 ed.
