I hear folks saying bugs are dying off because of changes in the environment, but shouldn’t bugs be some of the best equipped to handle changes? I imagine they reproduce faster than humans, and so I’d think their genes could adjust faster as well. You’d think we’d be having a worse time than bugs as the environment changes?

Evolution at the level you’re talking about takes a long time and more often than not results in extinction. Humans adapt by ignoring evolution, we don’t rely on genetic drift to overcome the environment. We either develop tools to survive the environment, or we modify the environment.
