Global warming has begun to drive evolution?

"Every autumn, pitcher-plant mosquitoes go into diapause, their equivalent of hibernation. The process is fixed by the creature's genes and triggered when daylight hours drop below a certain level. But scientists at the University of Oregon have recently discovered a change in the habits of Wyeomyia smithii. Over the past three decades, the insect has delayed its diapause for longer and longer, as the North American climate has heated up. And that is highly significant, author Elizabeth Kolbert writes in Field Notes From a Catastrophe. Daylight hours have not changed in the last 30 years, so the only alteration that can account for this delayed diapause is a genetic one. Natural selection is shaping Wyeomyia smithii so it can take advantage of our warming planet. 'Global warming has begun to drive evolution,' she states."





This is a pretty clear example of evolution. What are your thoughts?

Global warming has begun to drive evolution?
I think evolution, does happen with the change in the global weather, like with the last Ice Age, and how the planet heated up, and some of the Tigars we have are decendence of the Saber Tooth Tiger (I believe)... so the change in like the type of food could affect that, and often the food like meat is changed, when that animal can't adapt...
Reply:so, have the mosquitos started to become another species yet? if not, it's still only at the level of adaptation, which is common and Biblical.
Reply:its a pretty clear example of adaptation. Now , if these particular mosquitoes now cannot produce offspring with other mosquitoes of the same species from a different part of the states , that would be an example of real evolution - speciation.

Reply:This is on-going, nothing new. There is no 'global warming' trend if you would bother to get the facts, it's a normal cycle which occurs about every half century.
Reply:I get e-mail from NASA and the other day I got one that says the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere is closing,what great revelation you think will come out of that for evolutionist, I bet they will come up with something
Reply:Couldn't have "God" created us with evolution? Theology and science do not conflict. Only people without education, vision, or wisdom can't see past their own pride and foolishness. The farther we go with science the closer we come to God. Physicists today have little choice but to feel mystified by their discoveries in quantum physics.





Hard line Christians grow up and stop feeling threatened by intelligence, after all we are all on the same side.
