> Climate has absolutely nothing to do with this discovery

That’s difficult to conclude. It could have everything to do with warming North Atlantic ocean winds. Where they were previously deadly to mosquitoes, now they might not be.

We have insufficient evidence either way. The article is wrong conclude as it did. But it’s equally wrong to conclude based on their mistake that the opposite is true.

No it's really not. Northern Canada is infested with mosquitos and it's one of the coldest climates on earth. This has nothing to do with global warming.

Mosquito-heavy regions of northern Canada are actually warmer than Iceland in summer. Iceland averages 10-15°C (50-59°F) in July, but Canada’s boreal forest regions where mosquitoes thrive regularly see temperatures of 20-25°C (68-77°F) in the summer.

The Muskeg of northern Manitoba does not have an average July temperature of 25 lol 30 is considered an exceptionally hot day in most places

Isn't it that northern Syberia is super cold in winter and infested with mosquitoes in summer?

It's also quite hot in summer, being deep within the continent. Yakutsk can break +30 quite easily.

Baffin island has a July average of 12 degrees centigrade and it's crawling with mosquitos. Highly recommend confronting your biases.
