A mosquito that spreads tropical diseases including dengue fever may be poised to invade the UK
because of climate change, experts have warned.
and we're off again with that tired fragment of climate alarmism which warms us that with the coming of Man-Made Global Warming tropical disease bearers like mosquitoes will move north.To dispose of this yarn briefly:
1. Mosquitoes don't need warm climates in which to breed. They're happy in the Arctic.
2. The problems caused by malaria and dengue fever in southern nations are due to primitive medical resources in those countries.
3. There is currently no evidence that warming is happening. In the past twenty years global temperature has risen by just 0.29 degrees.
Towards the end of the article (in the Daily Mail) the real reason for the mosquito 'invasion' is slipped in:
The mosquito has been introduced into Europe from Asia via goods shipments, mainly used tyres and bamboo.
