    Hot and bothered: Climate warming predicted to increase violent conflicts

    A hot-off-the-presses SCIENCE study analyses historic and modern data gathered from around

    the world and finds a link between global warming and increased human violence

    As much of Europe and America swelter under the effects of unusually warm temperatures this

    summer, it may be cold comfort to learn that climate change affects more than the weather

    ; it also influences our behaviour. A hot-off-the-presses study finds that as global temperatures

    increase, so does violent human behaviour. Further, thanks to climate change and extremes

    in rainfall, this study predicts that conflicts may increase between now and 2050.

    This study, just published in the journal Science by Solomon Hsiang, Marshall Burke and

    Edward Miguel from Princeton University and UC Berkeley, synthesizes a lot of previously

    published studies of violence, ranging from baseball pitchers throwing balls at batters to

    wars and even to the collapse of entire civilisations. Their conclusion? When it gets hotter,

    people become more violent.
