Do you actually think a beetle can effect climate?

Question

if you said no, you would be right. However the beetle can certainly be effected by climate change

There may be more insects than you think.

I would say that it is highly likely that insects affect climate and I would include beetles in that.

EDIT: "Insects die in the late fall or Winter." See, proof! When insects are alive it is warm and when they die it is cold. /sarc.

Cyclops put a bug in your ear and your reacted very nicely.

It sounds more reasonable than 0.03% of the atmosphere. Only you can't tax bugs. (Yet)

Mike L makes a good point. When the bugs die the temperatures are driven down. When there are more of them alive, they drive the temperature up. I wonder if Al Gore could make a movie of that. Oh, that's right, there isn't any money in that theory. (yet)
