Mosquitoes may succeed where no COP has and no regulation has quite managed: changing the perception of the wealthy middle class in the West about the dire consequences of climate change, and how directly and dangerously mosquitoes could impact their lives. Maybe that's what it actually takes to get people to act: a physical, bloodthirsty insect. Those small, sticky bites, the relentless itching, and the realization that while sitting in your garden in the UK or Sweden, you could catch malaria, or God knows what else. But in the end, mosquitoes may turn out to be CSRD and DDD's best friends. We certainly don't want a situation where EU Parliament members come down with dengue fever or malaria. Or where CEOs who deny the urgency of climate change end up seeking medical treatment for Zika or yellow fever.
