You read that correctly. Global warming will cause more rape....and other crimes.
I find myself wondering just how deep the global warming alarmists are going to go with their fear mongering. But everytime I try to calculate this....they come up with more "science" to "scare" me even more.

Since this "science" shows that even a slight change in temperature (in a hotter direction) is a cause for more crime, let's test that by looking at crime rates in Chicago vs Dallas.
Chicago has 10.08 violent crimes and 41.84 property crimes for a total of 51.92 per 1000 residents.
Dallas has 6.76 violent crimes and 44.41 property crimes for a total of 51.17 per 1000 residents.
hmmmm....looks like more fear mongering global warming propaganda again.
What do you say Inconvenient Truth forum....more fear mongering propaganda or serious thoughtful scientific evidence?

Journal of Environmental Economics and Management
This paper estimates the impact of climate change on the prevalence of criminal activity in the United States. The analysis is based on a 30-year panel of monthly crime and weather data for 2997 US counties.
I identify the effect of weather on monthly crime by using a semi-parametric bin estimator and controlling for state-by-month and county-by-year fixed effects. The results show that temperature has a strong positive effect on criminal behavior, with little evidence of lagged impacts.
Between 2010 and 2099, climate change will cause an additional 22,000 murders, 180,000 cases of rape, 1.2 million aggravated assaults, 2.3 million simple assaults, 260,000 robberies, 1.3 million burglaries, 2.2 million cases of larceny, and 580,000 cases of vehicle theft in the United States.
