Global
Warming Could Cause 50 Percent Increase in Violent Conflict
Excerpt: "A survey published today
in Science takes
a first-ever 30,000-foot view of this research, looking for trends that tie
these examples together through fresh analysis of raw data from 60 quantitative
studies. It offers evidence that unusually high temperatures could lead to tens
of thousands more cases of "interpersonal" violence—murder, rape,
assault, etc.—and more than a 50 percent increase in "intergroup"
violence, i.e. war, in some places."
