Study: Drought a key factor in Central American migration to the United States
SUMMARY: A study conducted by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Utah has found that weather conditions play a significant role in predicting immigration to the southern border of the United States. The study tracked over 323,000 migrants traveling with family from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras and found that drier conditions led to a 71% increase in migration. The study also highlighted the impact of climate change on the agriculture industry in the region, causing food insecurity and making it harder for farmers to make a living. The researchers suggest supporting smallholder agriculture and implementing guest worker programs as potential solutions.

SUMMARY: In Texas, residents have observed an unusual rise in fly populations, particularly exacerbated in recent years. The phenomenon, discussed by Central Texans on Reddit, aligns with insights from Texas AgriLife Entomologist Wizzie Brown. She explains that the state's warm climate supports year-round fly activity, with heat accelerating their life cycle, leading to rapid population growth. Climate change is likely worsening the issue, as higher temperatures benefit flies and expand their habitable areas. To manage the infestation, Brown suggests regular trash removal, using outdoor garbage bins, and cleaning these bins with dish soap to eliminate fly-attracting odors.
