Does anyone know the type of bugs that are being affected by global warming?

The mountain Pine Beetle for one.

JimZ doesn't seem to realize that in a warming atmosphere the tropics will expand and so, most likely, will those insects that inhabit those areas. This is why when discussion occurs involving 'bugs' and future climate change and the widening of the tropics 'disease vectors' are most likely going to spread to increasing latitudes. This would happen under any type of warming of course. You just deny everything that is considered bad when it comes to global warming and accept everything that will be considered good in global warming don't you?

Jim: The question was 'are being affected' not 'will be affected'. This question also has nothing to do with CO2. Denying that changes could occur in a warming world due to your personal view on the cause is a little off the rocker don't you think? Perhaps instead of posting your political beliefs, your personal anti-science rhetoric regarding the cause, as most of the posters in here who question climate change do, and so on you should actually answer the original question?

JimZ doesn't seem to realize that taking one instance out of a trend, such as the malaria epidemic in Siberia, is nonsense. We are discussing trends here. Of course using malaria as a statement against a warming climate is silly. There are 12 types of mosquitoes that currently exist in Siberia that are capable of transmitting the disease.

Recent scientific studies show that a warming world decreases the effectiveness of malaria carrying vectors by reducing their infectiousness.

"As temperature rises, parasites do develop faster, but fewer of them become infectious."

Although parasite development peaked at 26 ºC, malaria risk was higher at 24 ºC, because parasite survival rates peaked at a lower temperature of 22 ºC. “We see better potential transmission at these lower temperatures,” says Paaijmans, although he adds that the effect of temperature on other factors, such as mosquito biting rate, still needs to be explored.

Given recent studies and the warming we have experienced temperature, specifically, will alter malaria's transmission regions. And as I stated in my post, "disease vectors are most likely going to spread to increasing latitudes."

Regarding your selective argument against malaria though, here is a list of NTDs: http://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/ntd/diseases/index...

It's good that at least now we are aware where you get your information from. Steve McIntyre, a mathematician and mineral prospector. Why not link to the original article instead? And JimZ, warming has occurred and the tropics have increased.

And please point out where I'm using left-wing blogs? Most of my posts in here are to actual scientific journals while most of your posts, this being an example, are to right-wing conspiracy blogs. Do you also notice that disease transmission and so on was nowhere in the question? It merely dealt with 'bugs'. But you and people who think as you do, of course, always need to bring in your own personal conspiracies even when it wasn't even asked for.

If you are a gardener,one speedily realizes that it may have each well and unhealthy result.Most however no longer all larva of beetles and different insects are laid within the flooring.During dry spells the hatched pupa has a complicated time achieving the outside. Some avians will lay 2 or extra clutches for the period of accelerated hot durations.My greatest difficulty was once the past due freezes for the final 3 years on fruit timber.This did not enable blooms to expand,however was once quite unfastened from hazardous insect's.

Since there is no global warming no bugs can be affected by it.

Alarmists typically will suggest that all pests (e.g mosquitoes to bed bugs) are going to increase and any useful bugs (e.g honey bees) are threatened. This of course, is nonsense and predictable.

Jeff doesn't seem to understand the difference between future and present tense. I allowed for some future tense in my answer. A more correct answer would be there isn't any known effect from our emissions of CO2. Jeff also apparently doesn't realize that one of the worst Malaria epidemics ever was outside of the tropics in Siberia.

<<<Transmission was high in many parts of Siberia, and there were 30,000 cases and 10,000 deaths due to falciparum infection (the most deadly malaria parasite) in Archangel, close to the Arctic circle. >>>

Jeff pretty much proved me correct. These people don't even see themselves making ridiculous biased statements. If warming occurs, it isn't likely that the "tropics" will be increased significantly. It seems more likely to me that the temperate zones would be increased but that isn't particularly alarming so Jeff would never read that in his left wing blogs.

An alarmists could only see the expansion of poison ivy, not blueberries. They actually have serious studies projecting increased poison ivy. You can't make up this stuff. The ridiculous is the norm with alarmists. If you can dream up a ridiculous notion, chances are they already seriously proposed it. That is the rusult of throwing away billions of dollars to exaggerate a nonexistent problem.

"I once had a ladybug but then it died because it got too hot outside. So yeah, ladybugs."

LOL - the best answer yet.

To answer your question, yes, I know what types of bugs are being affected.

For human health, mosquitoes are a major concern. They spread malaria and dengue, among other diseases. Malaria was pretty well controlled in the US, with the Southern US in the fringe range of a type of mosquito that could spread the disease (only mosquitoes with certain mouth structures can transmit the parasite).

For ecological health, if climate changes stress forests, insect pest and fungal disease can kill trees, trees. The range of pest and diseases expand and often resort in outbreaks and large wild fires.

I have not seen any roches lately so I guess they are effected by so much heat and probably chilling in their holes....

I once had a ladybug but then it died because it got too hot outside. So yeah, ladybugs.

these bugs and they want help
