According to research by biologist teams and pest extermination experts, climate change has rapidly increased the number of rats in major cities around the world.
In this study, which inspected rat -related complaints, it turns out that the rise in temperature due to climate change has created a “perfect rat storm.” It has been reported Monday.
19 teams in charge Report Investigating the changes in rats in 16 major cities, 11 cities, including Washington DC, San Francisco, Toronto, New York, and Amsterdam have significantly increased the number of rats.
The team is based on the survey results based on the “public rat witness” and the number of test data in order to “quantify changes in the number of rats in each city and evaluate the tendency of the entire city.” The claim that the number of rats is increasing has acknowledged that. “Not tested.”
Nevertheless, this study confidently concluded that when the climate change caused by humans increased the temperature, the number of rats would increase.
“The environment variable that was most strongly associated with the increase in rats was a change in temperature experienced by cities compared to the average temperature of long -term baseline.”
“Probably, since this is a small mammal with physiological issues in the cold season, we see these trends in rats in the fastest and fastest cities,” he is a biologist and biologist. Jonasan Ricardson said. Richmond University.
However, I saw the three cities I investigated, that is, New Orleans, Louisville, and Tokyo. It will decrease Despite the rise in temperature, the number of rat individuals.
“In New Orleans, they go out to the neighborhood, make great efforts to conduct educational workshops and campaigns, and talk to residents about the possibility that their property has a rat,” Richardson. I acknowledged.
Others suggest that the increase in rats may be related to garbage on the street and alleys.
It is also known that garbage collection practices that are not included in the research have a negative or positive effect on rats.
