Alarmists climate change study claims that rise in assaults, murder and war are caused by global warming

All recent polls indicate that people have lost interest in global warming and its successor climate change. But the alarmists do not give up very easily. This is their latest scare "study":

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.

Marshall Burke, from the University of California, Berkeley, said: "This is a relationship we observe across time and across all major continents around the world. The relationship we find between these climate variables and conflict outcomes are often very large."
