We won't lose all insects. They didn't all die off when a massive rock took out the non-avian dinosaurs 65 million years ago, and that was far more catastrophic (worse than any human nuclear winter scenario).

Might’ve taken a while to grow back though.

The loss of insects isn’t caused by climate change, it’s too much pesticide use and people trying to have lawns instead of native plants.
