Rise in violence 'linked to climate change'
BBC News ^ | 8/2/2013 | Rebecca Morelle

Shifts in climate are strongly linked to increases in violence around the world, a study suggests.

US scientists found that even small changes in temperature or rainfall correlated with a rise in assaults, rapes and murders, as well as group conflicts and war.

The team says with the current projected levels of climate change, the world is likely to become a more violent place.

Russia seems to be a hotbed of deniers as well.

Yes, the Russians are giving the AGW crowd the cold shoulder.

Very well put. Brevity definitely is the soul of wit.

They don’t have much respect for the third sex crowd, either. How ironic that Russia seems to headed for what the USA once was; while we are on a toboggan slide to what we USED TO rail against!

We Texans have this really cool contraption called an air conditioner. When it’s hot outside, instead of raping and pillaging, we stay indoors under the A/C and drink sweet ice tea.

So, those scientists took studies from over hundreds of years to determine when crimes occur. Did they consider the invention of the A/C in recent times?

I heard that the rise in climate change is linked to people eating less healthier.

It has also been linked to older pets walking slower vs. when they were young.

The sun is actually a nuclear giant fireball.

the Earth would be -400 degrees below zero if the sun were not here. that’s the temp of interstellar space. the sun in the ONLY source of heat in the solar system

I was making fun of the study. If drought and high temps cause violence to rise, does the study say there’s more violence in August than January? How ‘bout on the equator?

More like a rise in mental illness linked to liberalism.

“They estimate that a 2C (3.6F) rise in global temperature could see personal crimes increase by about 15%, and group conflicts rise by more than 50% in some regions.”

It has been said before me by better men that "correlation is not causation".

things that coincide.....are not usually meaningful “coincidences”

Given the huge industry of alarmist dependent pseudo “science” any numbers they THROW UP..er sorry out is expected to be taken as Deeply Meaningful because they CLAIM to be “scientists”

I can see why this world had to go into the dark ages a thousand or so years ago, it was to get rid of of all of the junk these wanta be scientists put out, it was either the dark ages or destruction.

Ok, so we become more violent because of global warming which should put Al Gore and the rest of the gut eaters in a new light.

They are the ones telling every one that we are having Global warming ( without who would even think about it?, and they are the ones telling every one that it will make them violent )

Bottom line is that these people are inciting violence.

Roger that. That’s another reason we need to ban private firearm ownership. Or some such rationale?!?!?
