Unbelievable! Malaria Returns to The Americas

With all of the caterwauling about global warming today (scroll down), a more important environmental issue may get missed:

Note the final paragraph and how DDT was successful in eliminating malaria the first time.  It is estimated it would take 55¢ of DDT sprinkled around each home's walls to save more than a million lives (mostly children) in Africa each year.

The world has serious environmental problems today: Malaria and the lack of sanitary drinking water for a third of the world's people. Both could be solved for a fraction of what we are spending on worrying about the weather 40 years from now. It is long past time to get our priorities straight.
