Global Warming Causes Malaria

Ha! See what I mean! Not only does "marketing" cause diabetes, but "global warming" causes malaria! And here all this time I was under the impression that malaria was caused by parasites in the genus Plasmodium ...

Using this logic would force one to conclude that reading causes fascism: after all, if people couldn't read Mein Kampf, they could't be fascists! Ban reading now! Save the children!

Global Warming Deaths on the Rise. About 160,000 people die each year from malaria, malnutrition and other maladies caused by global warming, a new study says. Researchers estimate the number could almost double by 2020. [Wired News]

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
