It depends on whether the analysis is designed to answer questions about what we know or what we should do. What’s the point of the study? Who is the audience?
Please look at Figure 4:

Drug resistance (mainly chloroquine, but SP too) were rising during the 1990s. Some people wanted to blame rising cases on temperature. Drug policy changed, temperature kept going up, but cases stopped rising. Do the math.
This article is infuriating. In particular, the discussion of the Kericho data and analysis of it. The salient point, ignored by the commentary, is that if you follow the data set a few years longer, temperature kept rising, but malaria cases didn't.

I would like to announce that I have been studying Darmok in order to speak only through allegory.
I am freeing myself from the need to speak plainly ever again.

Local knowledge and the local populations are the most underused resource at present, IMO.
It’s time to invest more in education and engaging politicians in the fight.
Sort of like the nuclear winter generation?

Listening to RFK Jr is almost guaranteed to lower your intelligence.
His brain is a convoluted mess.

You think a cluster of cases in a high resource setting is evidence that eradicating vivax is impossible.
I think that’s not attentive to history.
