Climate change sea makes people easily angry

Global warming can turn the world into a more violent place, because the higher the temperature, the easier it is for people to get angry and angry.

National Geographic said, Matthew DeLisi, a socialist at the University of Iowa in the US, and colleagues analyzed data on US murders between 1950 and 2008. They also collected data. about the average annual temperature for the same period. Results showed that if the average temperature in the US increased by 4.4 degrees C, the number of murders and injuries would increase by about 100,000 per year.

A study by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows that the global average temperature can increase from 1.1 to 6.4 degrees C before 2100 if countries do not take reasonable and timely measures. to prevent greenhouse effect.

The rise of temperature can increase the level of human temperament in countless ways. Brad Bushman - a University of Michigan psychologist who studies aggression, agrees with DeLisi.

'The higher the temperature, the more tired and irritable and irritable people become. When we fall into those states, we are very angry, ' Bushman said.

DeLisi thinks that people tend to leave the house when the weather is hotter, making social interaction activities increase. 'In the summer, when many people go outside, evildoers have more opportunities to do bad deeds,' DeLisi said.

The change in weather patterns caused by global warming can increase the level of poverty, food shortages and malnutrition in many parts of the world. These are factors that make it easier for people to commit acts of violence to ensure survival.

Climate change can also cause environmental disasters such as floods, droughts and forest fires. These disasters forced people to migrate to a safer place. The phenomenon of migration because of environmental disasters contains many seeds of violence.

'People who leave their residence to avoid disasters can spill over into other territories and cause conflict,' DeLisi explained.

For example, after Hurricane Katrina attacked the United States, many people from New Orleans moved to Houston. Soon the number of murders in Houston skyrocketed by clashes between gangs of gangsters coming from New Orleans with local gangsters.

If such encounters occur on a global scale, they can increase social unrest, possibly even leading to war or genocide.

Many previous studies support the view that climate change increases the level of human aggression.

'My research demonstrates that the rise in ambient temperature will increase the temperature in the brain. The greater the temperature in the brain, the higher the risk of cognitive disorders, nervous stress, hot flushes and higher human behavior. Heat in the external environment also causes many physical effects such as increased heart rate , " said Ehor Boyanowsky, a criminal psychologist at Simon Fraser University at Canadaph.
