No, I'm not making that up.  https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Judith_Curry

Officials say the actual number of people who have become sick is much higher than the 96,000 documented cases in 2016, in part because many infections are not reported or recognized.

 

What bull ****.  The level of illness was nearly constant around 50,000 for most of that time, but jumps to 100,000 in 2016, when there's 40,000+ cases of Zika in one state in the first year it's tracked.

 

Then let's take that one-year spike caused by adding a disease that you've never tracked before to your public health surveillance, call it 12-year trend, and call it a result of climate change while ignoring any and every other measurement and analysis that might prove or disprove global warming's role

 

That is some of the worst "science" I have ever seen.

So this is a conspiracy of the scientist, like almost all of the scientists!  

The media is too. 

The FBI is a conspiracy against Trump. 

All the women claiming Republicans grabbed them are part of it 

Our election was a conspiracy (5 million illegal voters or whatever) 

The intelligence services are one also (Claiming Russia interfered in election) 

 

 

Only Hannity and Fox news are pure and good. 

 

This can't last.

An East Asian tick that can kill humans in 48 hours was found in the woods of New Jersey, according to Fox 29. The ticks were found in Hunterdon County, and some researchers think that the tick “can clone itself” and carry “a deadly disease.” The ones found in the U.S. have not been disease carriers. The bugs can now “move into new climates and new places where originally they would have never survived because of warmer temps and increased food supply,” Drexel researcher Kayla Socarras told the local news station. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that the number of people “getting sick from ticks, mosquitos and fleas tripled over the past 12 years.” The agency also claims that the bugs “may be carrying nine new germs,” some of which have been lethal.

In May 1963, Rachel Carson appeared before the Department of Commerce and asked for a “Pesticide Commission” to regulate the untethered use of DDT. Ten years later, Carson’s “Pesticide Commission” became the Environmental Protection Agency, which immediately banned DDT. Following America’s lead, support for international use of DDT quickly dried up.

Although DDT soon became synonymous with poison, the pesticide was an effective weapon in the fight against an infection that has killed—and continues to kill—more people than any other: malaria. By 1960, due largely to DDT, malaria had been eliminated from eleven countries, including the United States. As malaria rates went down, life expectancies went up; as did crop production, land values, and relative wealth. Probably no country benefited from DDT more than Nepal, where spraying began in 1960. At the time, more than two million Nepalese, mostly children, suffered from malaria. By 1968, the number was reduced to 2,500; and life expectancy increased from 28 to 42 years.

 
 

After DDT was banned, malaria reemerged across the globe:

• In India, between 1952 and 1962, DDT caused a decrease in annual malaria cases from 100 million to 60,000. By the late 1970s, no longer able to use DDT, the number of cases increased to 6 million.• In Sri Lanka, before the use of DDT, 2.8 million people suffered from malaria. When the spraying stopped, only 17 people suffered from the disease. Then, no longer able to use DDT, Sri Lanka suffered a massive malaria epidemic: 1.5 million people were infected by the parasite.• In South Africa, after DDT became unavailable, the number of malaria cases increased from 8,500 to 42,000 and malaria deaths from 22 to 320.

Since the mid 1970s, when DDT was eliminated from global eradication efforts, tens of millions of people have died from malaria unnecessarily: most have been children less than five years old. While it was reasonable to have banned DDT for agricultural use, it was unreasonable to have eliminated it from public health use.

Environmentalists have argued that when it came to DDT, it was pick your poison. If DDT was banned, more people would die from malaria. But if DDT wasn’t banned, people would suffer and die from a variety of other diseases, not the least of which was cancer. However, studies in Europe, Canada, and the United States have since shown that DDT didn’t cause the human diseases Carson had claimed. Indeed, the only type of cancer that had increased in the United States during the DDT era was lung cancer, which was caused by cigarette smoking. DDT was arguably one of the safer insect repellents ever invented—far safer than many of the pesticides that have taken its place.

So this isn’t really a thing with global warming, as it is introduction of a species where it isn’t usually endemic. Now I see your trying to go with rising temperatures but East Asia is a temperante zone, so it’s not a stretch to see a tick survive in similar conditions even if it’s not endemic to that area.
