Yes, I hate mosquitoes, but they’re a pretty significant part of the ecosystem. But Google is well known for their measured and thoughtful approach, and especially long-term planning, so I’m sure it’s going to be just fine.
There is literally no option to endanger mosquito species which act as vectors for human disease while people, agriculture, and wild mammal populations exist. This is local suppression in municipal areas.
32 million would be like fighting a wildfire with a spraybottle if your goal was eradication.
Eradicating disease is an option though as we CAN control transmission.
I’ll look forward to hearing that the program has been cancelled for no apparent reason in a couple of years after successfully delivering all of its objectives
Only a couple of species of mosquitoes actually bite human beings. At least one of those species is not native to the United States. We can safely kill those species and it should not impact the diet of birds and other things, sincere will still be plenty of other mosquitoes to go around.
