Global Climate Change

24.4K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Increased Body Temperature

687
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Summary

Warmer temperatures and increased insecticide use correlate with earlier, more abundant sweet potato whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci). This suggests climate change may exacerbate pest outbreaks by disrupting natural pest control mechanisms.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Entomology
  • Climate Change Impact
  • Pest Management

Background:

  • Global temperature rise is linked to increased insect pest activity and range expansion.
  • Insecticides are primary tools for managing emerging insect threats.
  • The sweet potato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is a significant pest in southeastern US vegetable production.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between climate, land use, and management practices on whitefly activity.
  • To identify factors correlating with the emergence and abundance of Bemisia tabaci.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from a multi-year, regional whitefly monitoring network.
  • Analyzed correlations between whitefly activity, climate variables, land use patterns, and insecticide application data.

Main Results:

  • Whiteflies were detected earlier and were more abundant in areas with higher insecticide use, particularly under warmer temperatures.
  • Whitefly outbreaks in warmer conditions were not linked to specific insecticide active ingredients, suggesting broader biocontrol disruption.
  • Peak whitefly detections varied with crop types: earlier in vegetable production areas, later in cotton production areas.

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest a potential link between warmer temperatures, increased pest abundance, and insecticide use disrupting biological control.
  • Climate-driven pesticide use may increasingly contribute to emerging pest outbreaks due to global change.
  • Further research is needed to explicitly demonstrate the disruption of biological control by pesticide applications in the context of climate change.
