What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.

I know it's been ongoing. I'm just wondering where this surge of posts is coming from. I'm just observing that the surge came when it got warm enough for bugs here.

I've only seen this one and it is clearly reporting on this survey that has been made, comparing current data with that from 20 years ago. Not sure where or why you're getting confused here.
