Geoengineering could be responsible for a rise in malaria incidences in tropical countries
The new research published by the journal Nature Communications suggests that at least one million people could be at risk from a new strain of malaria in tropical countries if geoengineering is not stopped.
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center examined how geoengineering affects the spread of infectious disease. Climate models were used by scientists from Germany, Bangladesh, South Africa, and the United States to simulate malaria transmission in two future scenarios.
This study included collaborations from the University of Maryland in College Park, the International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research (Bangladesh), the University of Florida in Gainesville, the Cologne University of Applied Sciences (Germany) and Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
The models were created to determine which temperatures are most favorable for malaria transmission by the Anopheles mosquito and how many people live where this is likely or possible.
Both scenarios predicted that malaria would shift dramatically between regions. An additional one billion people could be at risk from geoengineering interventions. Remember how geoengineering was called a conspiracy theory when chemtrails and geoengineering were ?
