Researchers found that several types of mosquito-like midges that for many thousands of years thrived in cold climate surrounding the lake suddenly began declining at around 1950; two midge species adapted to the coldest weather disappeared altogether.

So these midges flourished through the Medieval Warm Period? And survived the Global Warming scare of the 1930s? Only to fall victim to AGW in 1950. Too bad they couldn't have held on to the Coming Ice Age of the 1970s!

Is it just me or are the champions of AGW getting nuttier and nuttier?

Nuttier by the hour.

I wonder how many thousands of things beside Al Gore's global warming could have been responsible for the demise of the midges?
