Study: Global warming can cause malaria, dengue to billions 

• Malaria and dengue predicted to affect billions more people if global warming continues uncurbed
• An estimated 8.4 billion people could be at risk from malaria and dengue by the end of the century if emissions keep rising at current levels, according to a new study published in The Lancet Planetary Health.
• The research team estimates that this worst-case scenario would mean the population at risk of the diseases might increase by up to 4.7 additional billion people (relative to the period 1970-1999), particularly in lowlands and urban areas, if temperatures rise by about 7°C by 2100 compared to pre-industrial levels.
• In the scenario where emissions are reduced the most – greenhouse gas emissions decline by 2020 and go to zero by 2100 and global mean temperature increases by 1°C between 2081 and 2100
• An additional 35 billion people are predicted to be living in areas suitable for malaria transmission.
• For dengue in this scenario, the modelling suggests 2.41 additional billion people could be at risk.
• The study highlighted that if emission levels continue to rise at current levels, tropical high-elevation areas (more than 1,000 metres above sea level) in areas such as Ethiopia, Angola, South Africa, and Madagascar could experience up to 1.6 additional climatically suitable months for malaria transmission in 2070-2099 compared with the period 1970–1999.
