On March 24, Ker Than argued in National Geographic that "Global warming could make the world a more violent place, because higher temperatures increase human aggression and create volatile situations."
Reporting on the findings of a new study released last week, Than repeated the study authors' estimate of increase in violence as temperatures climb: "[I]f the average temperature in the U.S. increases by 8 degrees Fahrenheit, the country's murder and assault rate will jump by about a hundred thousand cases a year."
Than also used temperature projections from the UN's IPCC, which has recently been forced to admit "flaws" in its reports since the ClimateGate scandal broke in November 2009.
"A 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projected that global surface temperatures could rise by 2 to 11.5 degrees Fahrenheit" by 2100, he wrote without mentioning any of the criticisms of the IPCC or their own admission of problematic data.

Are they still biting that hook?
Tarring and feathering is “violence”, right?
Curious how they explain the Vikings and Mongols.
“Global warming could make the world a more violent place”...
Obama beat global warming to it.....
"Environmentalism is instinctively and relentlessly illiberal, and it is doing more to inculcate people with fear, self-loathing and a religious-style sense of meekness than any piece of anti-terror legislation ever could. If you believe in freedom, you must reject it."

When it's hot, sometimes I have an ice cold beer.
And sometimes I kill an entire race of people.
I could go either way...
Well that makes perfect sense. This freezing winter will probably result in another baby boom to compensate for the genocidal violence.
IMHO I think their IPCC brains have definitely overheated and will soon explode - so global warming is actually a good thing.
Yes it does. The very first statist greenie weenies were the NAZIs and look what happened ...
The NAZIs also were among the first with free national health care.
You get the feeling statists and their policies leads to horror and ruin?
Boy I am glad I don’t live in the Caribbean with all its death rate from violence, i.e. Grand Cayman, St. Lucia, etc. They must have the most violence in the Americas, (except for Detroit or Philadelphia). And just think of poor Natalie Holloway. She should have spent spring break in Barrow, Alaska, and not close to the Equator.
LOL!
It is a real dilemma. Beer or Genocide? Decisions, decisions.
A 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projected that global surface temperatures could rise by 2 to 11.5 degrees Fahrenheit" by 2100 Even if you believe every single claim about global warming happening (it's not, the Earth has been cooling for ten years) and being man-made (doubtful given the limited role CO2 plays in the process, and the limited fraction of CO2 caused by humans), your crap detector should still go off when they start talking about events in the year 2100. Does anyone believe that the burning of fossil fuels will still be a major component of our energy supply in 2100? Surely we will have figured out fusion long before then. |
“Global warming could make the world a more violent place, because higher temperatures increase human aggression and create volatile situations.”
Thank goodness that it is a fraud then!
Well the enviroNazi, zero population growth atheists should be ecstatic about this.
it’s completely true, when al bore started pitching this i wanted to put my carbon footprint up his @ss.
This make me so hot under the collar that I could just.....
National Geographic pushes the global warming crapola every chance they get. If they can fit it into a program they will. Brainwashing of the masses...
