Quantifying the Influence of Climate on Human Conflict
Description: A rapidly growing body of research examines whether human conflict can be affected by climatic changes. Drawing from archaeology, criminology, economics, geography, history, political science, and psychology, researchers assemble and analyze the 60 most rigorous quantitative studies and document, for the first time, a remarkable convergence of results. They find strong causal evidence linking climatic events to human conflict across a range of spatial and temporal scales and across all major regions of the world. [Source: Science]
