The links WR offered go to James Hansen and Nature. They are not exactly garbage in this debate. One might disagree but they are very, very strong sources. Neither Hansen nor Nature is the source for those numbers. WR's reference to Hansen had to do with a different question. Nature was one publication that reported the WHO's study. WHO is the source. That it was published in Nature is incidental. I'm not about to try to track down the WHO study and find out how they correlate malaria with global warming and differentiate the global warming influence from other variables like ordinary climate fluctuations or the use of DDT. But round numbers like 150K and 300K make me itch and I'm not about to accept these just because they were published in Nature.
