Not, hey let's eat veggies, reduce energy, return the land to nature.
M0ar economy, m0ar gas.

a biodiversity catastrophe
My first "serious outdoor project" was a butterfly collection in the late-1950s, age ~6.
My father made me a net and I ranged my allotted territory of approximately 2-3 blocks in each direction in our residential neighborhood. Within a couple of years I had a pretty nice collection of at least twenty good specimens of larger butterflies - including a few moths (I liked all of them but ignored anything smaller than about the size of a half dollar for the collection).
Fast-forward 60+ years and I seldom see any butterfly, and even then they are almost always small and only from a very limited spectrum of choices. Even when I hike semi-regularly in the Smoky Mountains I see precious few of them - even miles from "civilization" ....
I have established a patch of milkweed (roughly 10 feet in diameter) (which is hard to start but then becomes invasive) in hopes of attracting Monarchs. This is the 3rd year and I have yet to see one here.
Don't even get me started on trying to keep 2 beehives going!

Incest "biomass total" dropping approximately 2% per year.
That's good, incest is pretty nasty business.
Hahahahahahahahahaha.......
Study done in Nature preserve in Puerto Rico, Heat spikes are making insects sterile.
The tropics normally has a very stable temp. But climate change has increased heat spike days from approx 2 to now, 12.
The experiment exposed captured Beetles to the abnormal duration of heat. During abnormal heat, the fertility of the beetles were halved, and then given a week to recover, after-which they discovered, the Beetles became Sterile.
So, even not accounting for DDT, and all the other crazy biowarfare stuff we're legally required to Spray to get crop insurance, Well, the heat alone is a biodiversity catastrophe.

Already down 50-75% vs the last 100 years.
The future looks awesome. No more pesky buggos.
