Climate change brings more crime
LA Times ^ | 2/19/14 | Louis Sahagun

Posted on 02/20/2014 2:12:11 AM PST by Libloather

A new study broadens a notion held by the earliest criminologists: Periods of higher temperatures -- on an hour-by-hour or week-to-week basis -- are likely to produce more crime.

The study by Matthew Ranson of Abt Associates, a research and consulting firm in Cambridge, Mass., suggests global warming will trigger more crimes including murders and rapes over the next century, with social costs estimated to run as high as $115 billion.

Between 2010 and 2099, climate change can be expected to cause an additional 22,000 murders, 180,000 cases of rape, 1.2 million aggravated assaults, 2.3 million simple assaults, 260,000 robberies, 1.3 million burglaries, 2.2 million cases of larceny and 580,000 cases of vehicle theft, the study published this week in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management says.

Stands t'reason ...

Heat expands everything, so the synapses are shortened, making reactions faster without the benefit of a lag (that oft'times is sufficient for one to step back and survey the sichyashun ... thereby avoiding a violent reaction), and next thing y'know .....

Someone gets hurt.

Climate change brings war and devastation.

As global temperatures decline, world food and energy stocks will be pillaged.

Warm weather = grow food

Cold weather = worldwide starvation

I have a special computer model that I’ve developed with climate change statistics. I’ve come to three conclusions with my new model on the future:

1. Racoon tails will be excessively longer...maybe three feet.

2. More beer will be consumed, as people suffer through the climate change period. This will require building up the production capacity of Pabst-Blue-Ribbon and Miller.

3. Less will suddenly become more, and more will become less.

On the third model prediction....I’m not sure if there were faulty numbers that I fed into it....or the CPU couldn’t handle such an excessive amount of data.

Meanwhile, I’m working on a new theory that trailer-park women are more lusty than Montana ranch gals, but I can’t find any climate data that would make my model work.

The never ending parade of Marxist morons goes on and on. It will not end until America is destroyed and turned into the USSA. I see very few and little to stop it.

We need more states to legalize marijuana to help people cope with climate change and joblessness. I can see this new potent marijuana strain being called Obama’s Purple Haze

"I just checked. The Sex Poodle was not available for comment."

He is in the basement counting the money he stole from the phony baloney global warming scam.

Dope makes sheeple more docile and compliant.

Soon, access to free dope will be declared a human right.

Well, at least this “truthful” reporting was approved by Obama’s Ministry of Propaganda’s new “in station” monitors for all news media and broadcasting that he is trying to establish.

We need government monitors in all facets of news reporting so that for the first time we can get the real news, not just what is actually happening.

I have been using those two words too!!! All that legalize marijuana stuff we have heard for years..... Now we know that it all shakes out to more Democrat voters if for no other reason than to get free stuffs to support their stoned lifestyles

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

suggests global warming will trigger more crimes

May I suggest you anally penetrate yourself with your study.

This is just great, a suggested theory built on top of a junk science theory.

I would add more, but I have to go feed my unicorn.

What’s the correlation between welfare expenditures and crime, single mothers and crime, Black populations and crime, gangs and crime? Climate change is the very least of our concerns, as evidenced in every poll taken.
