Since we all know Global Warming is a hoax, obviously those mosquitoes were smuggled into Iceland by Antifa.
-
antifa also made lots of tiny jackets for the mosquitos so they could survive the cold

I doubt it's the harsh weather that prevents mosquitos. They probably just never made it to the island before and now made it on a plane or boat finally.
In Canada you'll find hellish mosquitos up in the Arctic circle which has a much colder climates than Iceland I believe.

My Plague Inc run is finally going as planned.

Great job, humans. You’ve ruined Iceland.
-
We’re not done yet, there’s still some icebergs that need to go!
-
Those mosquitos aren’t going to like it when it’s just sea water.

Only course of action is to burn it down. Fetch the flame throwers.

Ugh, that sucks for those people. Mosquitoes truly are the spawn of Trump.
-
That's insulting to mosquitoes.

Interesting.
Cold is going to be a commodity in the coming decades.
-
Alongside food, water amd shelter
-
followed by some cataclisms, then ice age.
don't quote me on that
-
-
How'd they get there? Human activity or somehow carried by weather maybe?
-
Any number of places. It could have been a stowaway in luggage, imported livestock, etc.
-
They probably flew.
Every day animals are adjusting their habits and habitats based on the changing environment.

...or going extinct, like a sizable number of species already had in the last few decades

Damn it! We only have a few places of refuge!

Welcome to hell, Icelanders!
Hell arrived a while ago and it is summer on Lake Myvatn, or Midge Lake. You can't breathe without inhaling insects, so you have to wear a mask just in case a cloud of those things happen your way.
Yeah, we went to Iceland ~3 years ago and we learned beforehand to bring a mosquito net for Lake Myvatn. So this headline confuses me. The article says mosquitoes were only discovered there this month, but some random blog knew about it years ago?
Yeah, I wish I'd known what that translated to before I went there.
At least they seemed to stay away from the thermal baths area.
Genetic engineer your way out. The studies all agree it's fine, gene drive the mosquitoes extinct.
Or Breed the ones that don't bite humans or whatever
