Malaria is spread through mosquito species that prefer a certain climate. That climate may well increase in size, allowing the mosquitoes more habitat. It's plain common sense. Nobody knows for sure either way and malaria is of course a major disease for which we need to maintain diligent research.

Solutions, as usual, lie within collective behavioral changes at the individual level. Again, common sense with even a basic knowledge of the physical world should dictate our needed behavioral changes, in order to minimize our impact on our environment, no matter what. We have as much a right as any other species to make an impact, and our environmental impacts enhance other species, while possibly making it more difficult for others. We have crossed many lines that we could have avoided crossing. Minimizing our impact results in preservation and should always be paramount in all of our endeavours. Unfortunately, many people may not see it that way until maybe they see themselves or their loved ones succumbing to direct effects. I don't thinkthis issue allows time for that type of apathy-to-reaction agenda.
