Об эпизоде
The windscreen phenomenon is the observation of the gradual disappearance of insects on the planet. If you regularly use your car for long trips, you’re probably accustomed to seeing squashed flies, wasps and gnats on your windscreen from time to time. This is totally normal, but in recent years, it’s become a much rarer sight for drivers, and the significance is greater than you might first think. Isn’t not having to scrape dead insects off the windscreen a good thing? How can we be so sure that insects are disappearing? Could it just be an impression? What’s causing this decrease in insect population then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions ! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: How can I limit the effects of sugar on my health?
