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?

If this follows the "with vs. of COVID" thing, we're going to get "No, it's not climate change, it's change that which is climatic" here pretty soon.
