Climate at a Glance: Malaria and Mosquito-Borne Diseases
Bullet-Point Summary:
The number of global malaria deaths is declining, not increasing, as the world continues its modest warming.
The global death toll for malaria has been cut in half since 2000.
There have been no malaria deaths in North America or Europe since 1990, even though malaria deaths were frequent on both continents in the early 1900s – 100 years of global warming ago.
If global warming causes an uptick in malaria, the world should already have seen a substantial increase in malaria cases and deaths, not the dramatic and beneficial decline we continue to experience.
