The point I wanted to make is not so much about tropical diseases being on the rise - obviously the medical world is evolving, and so is pest control.
The point is that hot humid conditions are what make these pests possible.
Heat does not kill people directly, but it provides the circumstances for malaria to kill over a million people each year. And that's just one disease.
Polar bears kill too, but as a cause of human mortality they are no match for diseases spread by tropical mosquitoes.
If we're not careful their habitat will spread through our addiction to fossil fuels.
