I’m surprised they didn’t already have them. They’re a plague in central and northern Alaska due to the permafrost creating standing water.

this. i dont really believe it has to do with climate change. Is it a change in precipitation?

would a change in precipitation over historical averages not count as 'climate change' ? could we even say perhaps the whole globe is warming?
