Giant Arctic mosquitoes thrive because of climate change

Warming temperatures in the Arctic are helping the giant mosquitoes here to flourish and flourish in numbers, potentially threatening to become pandemics in the near future.

Arctic mosquitoes are getting bigger and growing because of climate change

The researchers realized that if the Arctic temperature increased by 2 degrees Celsius, the proportion of mosquitoes that survived to adulthood would increase by more than 53 percent. This means that giant Arctic mosquitoes will become more and more proliferate in nature and have a greater impact on people and living things around the region.

The giant Arctic mosquito is quite large in size.

Mosquitoes are growing in large numbers in Greenland, where research is done. Increasing temperatures have prompted a large Arctic mosquito to grow faster. Although, reports of this giant mosquito are relatively rare.

Large swarms of mosquitoes and large swarms of birds form horrors for people living near the polar regions. Excluding the impact on humans, the animals in the area are often the most subject to suffer.

Caribu reindeer is the main prey of the bloodthirsty mosquitoes in the sparse tundra on the western island of Greendland. Hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes smother the blood of baby reindeer until they are exhausted from losing blood and dying of starvation. Besides, people and other mammals are also in their "menu" .

The principal scientist, Lauren Culler, said: "Mosquitoes cause Caribu reindeer to flee. They have to run to windy peaks or run to snowy areas to avoid nuisance from mosquito species " .

Studies have found that, since ice melts faster, mosquitoes have an extraordinarily great shelter to multiply and flourish. Not only have the effects of changing seasons, scientists assert that warmer temperatures are a great opportunity to shorten the growth time of mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are most vulnerable in the early stages of life because they are the food of swimming beetles. If the process of molting into mosquitoes takes place faster, they will have a chance to survive the enemy. And one of the factors that accelerates this process is the environmental temperature.

The Government's Coalition for Climate Change (IPCC) predicts that the Earth is likely to warm up by 2-3 degrees Celsius before the end of the 21st century. And the two poles of the Earth are where this warming situation gets worse.

"If we continue to burn fossil fuels at the current rate, we can reach the 2 degree Celsius threshold before 2036," says Michael climatic Michael E.

Once again the issue of climate change is caused by human beings who are helping to face the dangers lurking in the future and life of mankind in the future.
