Global Warming and Human Violence: Dr. Craig Anderson

apid Global Warming is already having devastating economic, political, and social consequences worldwide. This presentation outlines three very different ways that global warming increases the risk of human violence. The first involves the direct effect of heat-induced irritability on aggression and violence.  The second involves the many known pre-and post-natal risk factors for creating violence-prone adults. The third involves the effects of ecological disasters on eco-migration and consequent political instability, intergroup violence, and war.

 

Held in Kesler Auditorium in Hickok Hall.
