Report: Greed, global warming causing malaria

Africa suffers from a deadly malaria epidemic, and a new report from an environmentalist researcher identifies political corruption, greed, and global warming as the proximate causes of those malaria deaths.

“The forest researcher [who wrote the report] blamed climate change in Nigeria and malaria prevalence on corruption,” explains Emmanuel Mayah at allafrica.com, “saying the country’s rich forests are laid bare by profit-minded loggers with licenses bought from corrupt politicians.”
