A
new study out has linked hotter temperatures due to global warming with rising tempures in humans.
Using US government data on average yearly temperatures and the number of violent crimes between 1950 and 2008, the researchers estimate that if the annual average temperature in the US increases by 4.4 degree Celsius, the yearly murder and assault rate will increase by 34 per 100,000 people - or 100,000 more per year in a population of 305 million.
This is where your university dollars go for research. I shouldn't be surprised after all these years, but it would seem with so many important things that one could study we still find professors writing papers on these kind of things.
