Malaria Mortality Down

Malaria Global Mortality Down 25% In Ten Years

So says this report  from Medical News Today. But hang on - wasn't malaria supposed to rise with increasing global temperatures due to climate change?
The Guardian said as much only two years ago.



It also said in the same article -

The international development secretary, Douglas Alexander, said: "The spread of malaria in the Mount Kenya region is a worrying sign of things to come.

"Without strong and urgent action to tackle climate change, malaria could infect areas without any experience of the disease.

"That's why we need to make sure vulnerable, developing nations such as Kenya have the support they need to tackle the potentially devastating impacts of climate change."

No problem. Will they take Visa?

If Goblins start to menace China, I'll send them some money as well. Nothing is too much trouble.

SV - goblins are the next Global Problem apparently, so get your Visa card ready. Goblin science has already made some disturbing discoveries.
