Likewise, global warming will probably slightly increase malaria, but CO2 reductions will be far less effective at fighting this disease than mosquito nets and medication, which can cheaply save 850,000 lives every year. By contrast, the expensive Kyoto Protocol will prevent just 1,400 deaths from malaria each year.
同样地，全球变暖可能略微增加疟疾的发病率，但是减少二氧化碳的排放量在对抗这种疾病上远没有蚊帐和药物那么有效，靠这些东西每年可以花很小的代价挽救85万人的生命。与之相对比，京都议定书每年只能防止1400人死于疟疾。
