Unsurprisingly, higher temperatures mean that disease-carrying mosquitoes are expanding their range.
It's not just Anopheles either; I started catching Culex tarsalis in Palo Alto last year, with the associated West Nile virus risk, when I didn't before.
Gee who could have known that was part of the real cost of all that claimed to be cheap stuff?
Who knew?
Well apart from everyone, including those who profited from it then skipped out when the bills for damage were due.
@AlanOutback For first-world countries, it's the consumable fuel, more than the "stuff." Think gasoline and diesel for transportation, coal and gas for electric generation.
Yes, less stuff helps, but it's very much about the fossil fuel use.
