Violence + Global Warming – Temp increase of just 2°C can up inter-group conflicts by 50%
(CBS News) A new study found that climate change may cause people to be more violent. The study draws a link between increased rates of domestic violence, assault and other violent crimes and a warming climate and says that aggression can be associated with higher temperatures. Researchers re-analyzed 60 studies from recent decades that look…
Evidence for Rainfall-Triggered Earthquake Activity
Fluids are known to be of major importance for the earthquake generation because pore pressure variations alter the strength of faults. Thus they can initiate earthquakes if the crust is close enough to its critical state. Based on the observations of the isolated seismicity below the densely monitored Mt. Hochstaufen, SE Germany, we are now…
