Yes, the scientists used beetles to test their theory. But researchers say the insects can be used as a proxy for people.

Well then problem solved. lower fertility = lower population growth, which will slow man made impacts to climate change....

Agreed. We are seeing this phenomena in Africa, India, Asia and South America.

LOL
These fricks are trying everything they can to make people believe in global warming.
After months of studies, i have come to the a scientific conclusion, that eating 5 burrito supremes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner could lead to obesity and heart disease.

It seems to me that the leftist environmental nut jobs are searching for anything that will induce panic support for their cause, and this is the latest in a string of those.
However, this:

Looks like nature's way of self-regulating.
