John " 'effin" Kerry has been gallivanting around the globe lately blaming volcano eruptions on global warming and now we learn that rapes will increase as a result of man caused temperature increases.
It will be interesting to see what other phenomenon the loony lefty libs will blame on global warming in the coming months and years. Parking tickets? Lost luggage at the airport? The heartbreak of psoriasis?
We can hardly wait, but no doubt it will be imminent and life threatening.
The phenomenon of global warming has been used to explain many things, but now Mother Jones is quoting a study saying it might cause more rapes of women.
Matthew Ranson, an economist, avers that there is a historical connection between warmer temperatures and increased crime. He said, "Looking at the past, we see a strong relationship between temperature and crime. We think that is likely to continue in the future."
Ranson utilized the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's projections of the effects of global warming in the U.S. to estimate that between 2010 and 2099, warmer temperatures 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."
