As mosquitoes are now able to survive and thrive in places they have never before - including Brazil, Florida, and as far north as Washington D.C. and New York

Say what?

Mosquitoes have been able to survive and thrive in all those areas for as long as there has been recorded history.

There was a yellow fever outbreak in Philadelphia in 1793. It spread to New York and was a problem until 1803.

Do these people never read a history book?

But I heard that evolution was fake and is proved?

The British who occupied Washington DC in the war of 1812 regarded it as a mosquito infested fever swamp.

I think the author is confusing introduced species with native ones, and is conflating adaptation of these introduced species to new environments with “global warming”.

He also is ignoring illegal aliens and other visitors as sources for these diseases.

The yunggins don’t think quite right nowadays.

I believe The mosquito is the state bird of Alaska.
