New Malaria study in journal Ecology Letters challenges warmer world predictions: ‘Temperature has theoretical links [to malaria transmission] but in practice they are drowned out’
'A world with 'rampant' malaria transmission is often seen as an inevitable consequence of global warming. But a new study radically challenges existing ideas of how the disease will spread with rising temperatures...'The effect of temperature is tiny when you look at everything else.' Factors like access to drugs and bed nets, the strength of a country's healthcare systems, and its wealth are orders of magnitude more important in predicting transmission'
