Reuters AlertNet - Mosquito onslaught plagues Anchorage residents: "ANCHORAGE, June 16 (Reuters) - A mild winter that left a thick blanket of snow on the ground, followed by a wet spring, created ideal conditions for thick clouds of mosquitoes and other insects that are plaguing Alaska residents.
Global warming, which is thawing permafrost and causing huge wildfires in Alaska, is being blamed for the mosquito and insect nuisance by environmental groups, including the National Resources Defense Council."
