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.
The study is published in Science.
Is there anything bad that can't be blamed on "climate change"? Even if A is real, which is a matter of some dispute, that doesn't mean it causes B. It's called the post hoc fallacy, science guys.
