Global oppvarming og krig i Afrika
Kanskje åpenbart, men forskning viser at global oppvarming øker sannsynligheten for flere borgerkriger i Afrika:
“When combined with climate model projections of future temperature trends, this historical response to temperature suggests a roughly 54% increase in armed conflict incidence by 2030, or an additional 393,000 battle deaths if future wars are as deadly as recent wars.”
”Hot temperatures cause crop yields to fall, farmer livelihoods to decline, and thus provide increased incentives to rebel, and because Africa is the most agriculturally-dependent region in the world, we would expect the links to be strongest in Africa,” Marshall Burke, a co-author of the study and a research associate at Stanford University’s Program on Food Security and the Environment, said in an e-mail message.”
