Rise in violence 'linked to climate change'
BBC News ^ | 8/2/2013 | Rebecca Morelle

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.

Well there it is from the "esteemed"(once upon a time) BBC. Proof positive that we need to spend gazillions of dollars (and pounds?) to solve a problem which we have no control over what-so-ever. What didiots. Of course I do get a little cranky when I gets too hot. Or too cold.

US scientists should be ashamed to call themselves scientists

The cold in Sweden doesn’t seem to stop the recent mulsim immigrants from raping the locals...

I suspect that pretty soon this will be a defense in certain trials, but only if you're one of Holder's people.

Gee, ya mean there is an uptick in violent behavior in the summer time?

Imagine that. Wonder how much they spent on this study to come up with that pretty obvious conclusion.

“Rise in violence linked to election of America’s first halfrican president and his marxist henchmen.”

Now that’s a headline I would believe.

If Obama wasn’t so busy destroying wealth and trade patterns for western civilization, there would be greater prosperity for all. Wars are largely created out of poverty.

Instead of “sharing the wealth” by destroying it and giving it away, he should be “sharing the wealth” by promoting more global trade with the power house, the US of A.

But he cant do that. Their goal is the destruction of America. Take out America ???? Guess what?

By the time he is done, he will have walked us to the third world war. IT will be VERY difficult to walk it back out.

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 our climates.

3. The earth is a rock.

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?

THERE IS NO SCIENCE IN CONSENSUS AND THERE IS NO SCIENCE IN GLOBULL WARMING THEREFORE THIS PROCLAMATION IS NOTHING BUT ANOTHER LIE BASED UPON A HOUSE OF LIES. THE RISE IN VIOLENT CRIME IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO MANKIND TURNING HIS BACK ON GOD... END OF STORY.

“They estimate that a 2C (3.6F) rise in global temperature could see personal crimes increase by about 15%, and group conflicts rise by more than 50% in some regions.”

DId Louis Farrakhan participate in this study. and if so when will we be treated to his spoken conclusions?

this is Million Man Math at its most ludicrous!!

What utter bull. Are they seriously suggesting the world is more violent now than 1000, or 2000 years ago?

I would think that any increase in violence would be directly related to the increasing global population.

However, I have to see the increase in violence first.

Evil will never cease looking for new ways of expanding. With the Left MSM Propaganda Machine, this means floating all thought up ideas about “Climate Change” no matter how crazy, to advance their political goals through as many weak minded individuals as possible and they really don’t care what that looks like to the rest of us.

This is the BBC. Global warming cultists are everywhere. It isn’t a US phenomenon. There are probably more American scientists criticizing the climate change fixation than anyone else.
