Resumen de Is climate violence just a load of hot air?
The phrase "dangerous climate change" got scarier last week, with a new analysis suggesting that global warming will bring a rising tide of human violence. While the study suggests past surges in temperature have boosted conflicts, it doesn't necessarily follow that steady warming due to climate change over the coming decades will have the same effect. Unlike glaciers, humans have remarkable adaptive capacity, says Cullen Hendrix, a conflict specialist at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg VA. Trends over the past few decades reinforce this message. According to the Human Security Report Project based at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada, the average number of international conflicts per year fell from more than six in the 1950s to less than one in the 2000s.
