Venomous Plants, Creatures: Climate Change could force Venomous Species to close in from every Side

According to a recent report, countries such as Niger, Namibia, China, Nepal, and Myanmar could provide a habitat for the survival of the most venomous snake species by 2070, from changes to  current habitats.

According to another study, Europe and North Africa could provide a more conducive environment for the survival of the venomous fire ants, since their suitable habitats  could grow by 25 percent by 2050.

A report says countries around the Mediterranean Sea could provide an even more suitable environment for the lionfish, a venomous creature having no known predator and having females that release roughly two million eggs.

In short, the coming years could prove to be interesting ones in relation to venomous creatures, as they could shift north or south when their preferred conditions shift north or south, species like the babuvirus banana, cotton white fly, devil weed, and others, putting very many people at risk from their activities.

Close to 50 percent of species could lose most of their suitable environmental conditions by 2100,  through the highest greenhouse gas emissions scenario from climate change, leading to the likely exodus of venomous snakes.

The lionfish, 23 to 25 inches long, with red and white stripes and long shiny fins, breached the Amazon- Orinoco river, but it could breach more areas through an increase in the warming temperatures in the creatures' range from climate change.

The Global Invasive Species Database listed fire ants among the 100 worst invasive alien species, but the changing climate could  force them to be more invasive as they embark on forced migrations, with researchers predicting that they could establish themselves in seven percent of Europe and the Mediterranean area.

Climate change could prove to be a factor behind the exodus of venomous creatures such as the lionfish, poisonous snakes, and the fire ant, but this could bring consequences in the near future, especially with the babuvirus banana, cotton white fly, devil weed, and others ready to cause chaos.

Invasive species may cause the planet to lose at least $423 billion each year, especially with 3,500 of them harmful,  wiping out native species and building the foundation for dangerous natural disasters.

Venomous snakes may put an additional 5.5 to 6.7 million people in danger by 2050, through increases in snake bites, as the climate change pushes the creatures into new territories.

A single lionfish residing in a coral reef may bring a 79 percent reduction in the recruitment of native reef fish, with a 2008 study finding that the population of small juvenile reef fish fell by 80 percent within five weeks of the appearance of a lionfish.

Imported fire ants may cause $6.7 billion in annual losses in the United States through their invasive activities, as well as lead to the decrease of other insects, including native species, which they see as competitors.

With the climate change-induced exodus of venomous creatures such as the babuvirus banana, cotton white fly, devil weed, lionfish, fire ants, and poisonous snakes, incidents like snake bites could show a rise, as well as the elimination of native species, plus economic losses.

In the near future, invasions of lionfish could be halted through detection and rapid response programmes, to keep the population of lionfish in check, since all signs point to a rise in their population going forwards.

Fire ants cost almost 20 billion euro in damages between 1970 and 2017, but not unlike lionfish, early detection and action could keep the costs in damages and numbers of the creature in check, since all indicators point to a rise in their number.

Venomous snakes bite an estimated 5.4 million people worldwide, with 1.8 to 2.7 million cases of envenomings, but with detection and action, the number in snake bites could decrease, especially when adequate measures come into place.

The coming years could see a rise of the population of invasive species like the lionfish, fire ant, venomous snakes,  babuvirus banana, cotton white fly, devil weed, and others, since climate change makes this inevitable, but with detection and action, nations could try to mitigate the dangers in the short and long term.
