This sucks. We should have listened to Greta after all. I told you so.
At least it will get people in Florida and Texas first.

In the U.S., the world’s deadliest animal is on the move (msn.com)

The deadliest animal in the world is smaller than a pencil eraser and weighs around two-thousandths of a gram — less than the weight of a single raindrop. Every year, it kills an estimated 700,000 by partaking in what scientists grimly call a "blood meal.” It’s the mosquito — and, increasingly, it’s on the move.
These global shifts, which will only accelerate as the planet warms, have sparked concern that the diseases mosquitoes carry will exact an even higher toll in the months and years to come. In June alone, five cases of locally transmitted malaria were discovered in Texas and Florida: the first cases acquired in the United States in two decades. These cases, experts say, are unlikely to have a connection to warming temperatures — conditions in Florida and Texas are already suitable for malaria-carrying mosquitoes. But as urban heat islands expand and temperatures rise, mosquito-borne diseases are expected to travel outside of their typical regions. “Climate change allows the creeping edge of mosquito ranges to expand,” said Sadie Ryan, a professor of medical geography at the University of Florida.

You shouldn't listen to Greta, better listen to conspiracy theorists instead... they told you so...

 


 

It has been said Rachel Carlson publishing “Silent Spring” led to more deaths from malaria than Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot and Hitler combined in their massacres.

But malaria victims are poor, and black.

Nearly every minute, a child under five dies of malaria. Many of these deaths are preventable and treatable. In 2021, there were 247 million malaria cases globally that led to 619,000 deaths in total. Of these deaths, 77 per cent were children under 5 years of age. This translates into a daily toll of over one thousand children under age 5.

It might be that DDT causes birds to have thinner egg shells.

But there is no doubt the banning of DDT has and will keep on killing millions of little black children in Africa.

I remember in mid 60's in Dallas, they had C130's or some large aircraft fly all over Dallas and suburbs spraying for mosquitos.
Don't think it did much good.

This is retarded. Climate change? Fude...mosquitos have always existed in the usa. What is new is malaria...which comes from Africa. Clearly this disease is a product of African immigration

Clearly your disease is a product of inbreeding.
 

Remember when the killer bees were moving towards the US? Never happened.
Fear mongering

Carson was an idiot. Morons and naive people believed a novelist.

People are carriers. Mosquitoes are innocent.

You might be right. Either that or you're a racist. Hard to tell.
