@flisk i will refrain from "missing the forest for the trees" puns but this diverse array of hashtags (a calling card for the quick to anger and slow to understand kind) and the fervor of OP strongly suggests the grand implication that no streetlights = problem solved

with the utilitarian value of streetlights ignored completely it sure does make a case for their removal, yet the article would suggest a much broader scope of general light pollution from urban areas which can be generated by anything - it's just that the eye grabbing headline says "streetlights" (since that's what they exclusively used for their testing) so that's what i focused on too in my defense of the humble streetlight

anyway his responses after the fact escalating streetlights into climate change led to exactly the expected response from a virtue signalling mastodon whore rather than any sort of discourse around ideas that allows bugs and streetlights to coexist which would be the most likely outcome of any research (e.g. replant the trees. or directional lighting. maybe the trees prefer different colors? idk. not my department - good for the next phase of research though!)

i'll leave you with '"Our study was conducted in only one city and involved just two tree species," cautioned Zhang."'
