At the top of search results today for “climate change,” Google News is promoting a Denver Post article claiming global warming is causing heat-loving tarantulas to disappear from Colorado. The Denver Post article was published this morning as tarantula lovers celebrate tarantula mating season, with thousands of tarantulas leaving their Colorado burrows looking for mates. While the Post article may generate click-bait numbers among tarantula lovers and climate alarmists, the scientific facts clearly reveal climate change poses no real threat to Colorado tarantula numbers.
The Post’s article is titled, “Southern Colorado’s tarantulas are disappearing – and climate change is a big part of it.” Many additional media outlets have republished the Post’s article, as well. The article asserts that global warming is making southern Colorado too hot for tarantulas. “Experts lays the blame on warming temperatures and less rain…,” claims the article’s subheading.
The article’s title unwittingly reveals the glaring flaw of the Post’s article – why do tarantulas live in southern Colorado and not northern Colorado? The answer is tarantulas require warm climate to survive. In fact, Colorado is the northern-most boundary of tarantula range in North America. A warming climate will allow Colorado’s thousands of tarantulas to gain a stronger foothold in the state and even expand their range north. That truth is quite different from how the Post wants to alarm tarantula lovers.
