- New study shows Malaria has little to do with temperature or climate, but more with household size – Published in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A
'These findings suggest that as average household sizes continue to decline around the world, malaria will also gradually disappear.'
- More bad news for warmists: ‘Infectious diseases, maternal and child illness, and malnutrition now cause fewer deaths and less illness than they did twenty years ago’
'Since 1970, men and women worldwide have gained slightly more than ten years of life expectancy overall'
- 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'
- Matt Ridley: The IPCC And Confirmation Bias: ‘Carried away by confirmation bias, scientists modeled the future worsening of malaria, and the IPCC accepted this as a given’
'In the early days of global-warming research, scientists argued that warming would worsen malaria by increasing the range of mosquitoes' -- But 'In a recent paper, Peter Gething of Oxford University and his colleagues concluded that widespread claims that rising mean temperatures had already worsened malaria mortality were 'largely at odds with observed decreasing global trends'
- Major UN IPCC Prediction Failure: Global Warming Does Not Cause Spread of Disease, Scientists Find — ‘Long predicted malaria will spread due to global warming – new study says that’s false’
- Malaria fails Warmist Bill McKibben — His Rison d’être Disappears: ‘Mckibben decided to devote his life to a meaningless fantasy, after getting malaria and blaming it on global warming’
'Mckibben should probably seek grief counseling, now that he knows his life's work is a joke'
- Study finds global warming wilts malaria: ‘Transmission of infectious parasites slows with rising temperatures’
'A study out today in Biology Letters finds that warmer temperatures seem to slow transmission of malaria-causing parasites, by reducing their infectiousness...the researchers, at PSU expect the pattern to apply to human malaria and possibly to other mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever and West Nile virus...As temperature rises, parasites do develop faster, but fewer of them become infectious'
- Another alarming climate myth bites the dust – mosquito born malaria does NOT increase with temperature
'Romm and Revkin are wronger than wrong, and the whole AGW to malaria link has just been shot down, in Nature no less, by a Penn State study' [Update: Revkin disputes he was 'wrong' on malaria: Points to his 2010 article: 'The science linking warming and malaria risk was always iffy']
- An Inconvenient Eradication: Malaria Deaths Fall Over 20% Worldwide In Last Decade: ‘It is clear is that malaria has got nothing to do with climate change’
- Mosquitoes Ignore Global Warming Predictions: ‘Global malaria deaths have declined by nearly 40% during the past decade’
