Read here. As has been well documented, the IPCC, AGW scientists and alarmist politicians have predicted the global warming will cause the spread of malaria infections. The actual empirical evidence has been unequivocal though: the spread of malaria has decreased while the world has warmed, clearly an irrefutable contradiction of "expert" predictions.
Recently, a new peer-reviewed study examining the data from western Africa once again confirms that climate change is not the cause of increased malaria infections or deaths.
"...the five U.S. researchers linked reported malaria cases and deaths from the years 1996 to 2006 that they obtained from the World Malaria Report (2008) for ten countries in western Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo) with corresponding climate data they obtained from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center.....Jackson et al. report that their analyses showed that "very little correlation exists between rates of malaria prevalence and climate indicators in western Africa."...This result, as they describe it, "contradicts the prevailing theory that climate and malaria prevalence are closely linked and also negates the idea that climate change will increase malaria transmission in the region.""
