Eco-horror becomes reality as climate change fuels wildlife threats
Original: Commentary: Killer mosquitoes, rabid bats and bear attacks: Climate change is making eco-horror feel real
A Los Angeles Times commentary argues that scenes once confined to eco-horror fiction — disease-carrying mosquitoes, rabid bats wandering into cities, and more frequent bear attacks — are increasingly playing out in real life as climate change shifts habitats and expands the range of pests and pathogens. The piece suggests warming temperatures are turning environmental anxieties into tangible, everyday dangers for the public.
Why now: Rising reports of climate-driven wildlife encounters and disease vectors are making eco-horror themes feel newly plausible to readers.
