Temperatures in Illinois are projected to rise over the course of the 21st century. The amount of increase depends on how much humans curtail their CO 2 emissions. If humans continue to emit at current levels, the increase will be between 8 and 14 °F (4.4 and 7.8 °C). If emissions are lowered, the rise will be between 4 and 9 °F (2.2 and 5 °C).
"When mosquitoes are looking to bite people, they are attracted to the carbon dioxide we exhale, but it's the smell of our skin that really focuses their attention," said Cameron Webb, associate ...

It is believed that from about 34 to 164 feet away, they can smell exhaled carbon dioxide, or CO2; about 16 to 49 feet away, they can see the target; then, within 3 feet, body heat gets detected.
At this point in the year, we’re all quite familiar with the sounds of summer: the breeze through the trees, the birdsong, the chatter of children playing outside – and the persistent buzz of ...
