Malaria Clock?

[Dog80]

Take a look at malaria clock at www.junkscience.com

…Since Ruckelshaus arbitrarily and capriciously banned DDT, an estimated 12,640,816,815 cases of malaria have caused immense suffering and poverty in the developing world…

That should mean that every person in the world has contacted the disease at least 2 times in his lifetime. Are these numbers correct?

Here’s some statistics. The Junk Science website is just using a web tool counter as a gimmick to exagerate.

Well, the site itself admits the figures are bogus:

***** Note that some of these cases would have occurred irrespective of DDT use. Note also that, while enormously influential, the US ban did not immediately terminate global DDT use and that developing world malaria mortality increased over time rather than instantly leaping to the estimated value of 2,700,000 deaths per year. However, certain in the knowledge that even one human sacrificed on the altar of green misanthropy is infinitely too many, I let stand the linear extrapolation of numbers from an instant start on the 1st of the month following this murderous ban.

Let me get this straight: Is this site devoted to debunking junk science, or promoting junk science? I certainly looks like the latter to me.
