Global insect populations are declining, a serious concern for entomologist Marcus Byrne due to their vital ecosystem services. While factors like pesticides and habitat loss contribute, Byrne's research strongly links this decline to rising atmospheric CO2, urging us to reduce emissions and protect these essential creatures.

Professor of entomology at Wits University, Marcus Byrne's early passion for insects was solidified at the Dung Beetle Research Unit in South Africa, where he discovered the significance of biological control and the fascinating world of dung beetles.

Ireland's public sector spends €9 billion annually on goods and services, totaling €100 billion over the next decade. This significant public expenditure presents a crucial opportunity to reduce carbon footprint, conserve energy, and boost environmental awareness among citizens.

Dublin fireman Neil McCabe demonstrates how this investment could foster environmentally friendly buildings and generate substantial cost savings. Transitioning to a green, low-carbon economy would not only save money but also create jobs.

The question remains whether local authorities and the government will embrace this vision. This discussion, hosted by Duncan Stewart, was published on Feb 18, 2014.
