In a previous article, our fellow blogger Ian reported about how the world's fish population will disappear in about 50 years or so if current trends continue unabated. That may be so, a new study from the University of Washington (UW) suggests bugs could boom because of global warming.

A hotter world equals, well, a "hotter" environment for the insects, and those that adapt faster to the climate change will actually reproduce faster. According to biologist Ray Huey:

Warmer is better for insects. Species that are adapted to warm temperatures will have higher rates of population growth than species adapted to cooler temperatures.
