😂 remember when climate change was called global warming?

I remember in the 1970s climate change was called global cooling because of the hole in the Ozone layer caused by hair sprays.

Thank you for your contribution, although you should submit to the correct subsaidit. In this case that'd be /s/propaganda.

The spatial limits of the distribution and seasonal of Anopheles species mosquito activity are well known to be sensitive to climate factors. So climate change is one of the known factors in increasing malaria risk.

Plus Bill Gates won't stop releasing those genetically engineered mosquitoes, and pushing his deadly vaccines that cause the disease.

Vaccines don't cause disease.

Unelected organizations should shut up. Pathetic rich people that think money makes them "elite"

Unelected organizations should shut up.

The problems with the WHO are because of politics. The rising influence of China makes them less vigilant against bullshit TCM modalities like acupuncture, and to take a weaker stance when China hides information about covid-19 from the world for a few months.

The idea that we should have medical experts advising politicians rather than letting politicians guess is sound. Being elected, doesn't make you knowledgeable. If anything campaigning lends itself to discarding good science to appeal to special interest groups.

It's not like we're guessing whether climate change affects malaria.

Impact of climate change on global malaria distribution, Caminade et al, PNAS (2014)

Correct. They are not guessing. The results are being backwards engineered to fit the narrative.

I just linked you to a scholarly paper looking at the impact of climate change on global malaria distribution.

As you could see, if you bothered to read it, it is not backwards engineering.
