This is because, according to a new climate model, a warming arctic will soon be overrun with bloodlusting mosquitoes which will descend in thirsty swarms on the hapless circumpolar reindeer/caribou. "Increased mosquito abundance, in addition to northward range expansions of additional pest species, will have negative consequences for the health and reproduction of caribou," says postdoc researcher Lauren Culler of the Dickey Center Institute of Arctic Studies, in tinned quotes supplied to the media.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_santa.jpg
