Record numbers of stink bugs are on the rise, and scientists report, this is more than we have ever had in history. Stink bugs, an invasive species that thrives off warm climates, are blooming in their population. Usually these insects feast for spring and summer and hibernate during winter; Typically living inside people's houses. But with the rise of global temperatures, the stink bugs populations are growing. Michael Raupp, an entomologist, says that "trillions and billions of stink bugs [are being born] nation-wide". The cure for these pesky critters? Simply sealing up your home as tight as possible.
Within the past few years, temperatures around the world have risen tremendously and because of this, certain species are dealing with it in different ways. Most insects do well when cultured in warmer temperatures, and this is the main cause for the insane stink bug population. Climate change is becoming a huge deal and the temperatures of our world have slowly increased ever since the Industrial Revolution, when some of the greatest contributors of greenhouse gases were introduced into our daily lives. Though global warming can be prevented, most United States citizens are not ready to give up many of their commodities to save our future planet. The rise of stink bugs is a small consequence to a global catastrophe that has been in a wraps for hundreds of years.
