If getting rid of wasps means the collapse of our entire ecosystem, so be it. At least we took those fuckers down with us.

Aren't bees and ants basically wasps? They all come from a common ancestor. Just differently specialized.
They specialized in to not being little fucking assholes so I'm okay with them
honestly it's more like yellowjackets specialized in being assholes, most wasps don't interact with us at all and just lay eggs in spiders or some shit.
Parasitoid wasps and mud daubers are dope little homies with coevolved viral injectors.
Yeah, give me a pile of fluffy cubes with wings over the angry stingy fuckers any day.
I'm OK with this plan, so long as they take out mosquitos and all their ilk.
Points at bees "Why can't you be more like your cousin?"
To hell, I hope
Where's this colder and wetter weather? I thought the earth was breaking one heat record after another this year?

On average, it is. But the other effect of climate change, and a big part of the reason it isn't generally referred to as "global warming" anymore, is an increase in weather extremes worldwide. Rainstorms are wetter, droughts are drier, cold snaps are colder, and heat waves are hotter.
Plant some native plants and invite the swarm
No
They are all here around my house.
I know this is a BBC article so it might not apply to America, but they are in my yard. All the wasps are hanging around in my backyard waiting to be dicks.
Basically Homeless will have a word.
