    You don’t need to eliminate all mosquitos, just the ones that bite people.

    There are dozens of different species of mosquitos, and not all of them bite people. If you get rid of the ones that bite people the others will likely still fill in as pollinators for those that are no longer competing with them.

      Yes… But then more humans will survive by avoiding certain diseases, which as a result, will produce a worse environmental outcome

        Eh, kill off 3 or 4 billionaires per year and you’ll counteract whatever additional environmental damage comes from millions of people not dying from malaria.
