Due to new research Western Europe could be prone to a malaria epidemic 8 months out of the year by 2080. Because of the global temperature rise, parasites are allowed to produce much more rapidly. It's projected that Tertian Malaria, once found in Germany will be reintroduced due to climate change. Because of sea surface temperature changes it is possible for increased parasite reproduction in addition to warmer air. When we think of global climate change we are mostly thinking about the organisms that will suffer from the changes, but have we thought about organisms that will thrive in our heightened air temperature? According to the (IPCC) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change global temperature is due to increase 6.4 degrees celsius by 2099.
