A record dengue outbreak in Florida is drawing renewed attention to warnings made a quarter century ago in the first US National Climate Assessment, which projected that warming temperatures would expand mosquito habitat and raise dengue risk in the United States. Climate scientist Peter Gleick and others are pointing out that coverage of the outbreak omits any mention of climate change, calling out a gap between the evidence and the public narrative.
Why now: The Florida dengue outbreak appears to confirm long-standing climate warnings that mainstream coverage is not connecting to climate change.
