So it doesn't derail the climate change post, it is important to understand that the loss of fireflies is also due to fertilizers and other agricultural changes to soil chemistry, including the collective effect of lawn treatments.
This is in turn because all of those things affect snail populations, and most firefly species people are familiar with feed on snails almost exclusively.
it frustrates me how much climate change is sort of treated as the main or even only reason for environmental problems
development, pollution, mismanagement, stuff like that all cause serious environmental devastation separate from climate change (as well as contributing to it but anyway) but are also much easier for everyday people to meaningfully address than climate change
