A recent Climatic Change review article reports a remarkable convergence of scientific evidence for link between climatic events and violent intergroup conflict, thus departing markedly from other contemporary assessments the empirical literature. This commentary revisits in order to understand discrepancy. We believe origins disagreement can be traced back article's underlying quantitative meta-analysis, which suffers shortcomings with respect sample selection analytical coherence. modified...
While both academics and politicians have long acknowledged the connection between food price shocks so-called ‘food riots’, this article asks whether rising domestic consumer prices are a contributing cause of sociopolitical unrest, more broadly defined, in urban areas Africa. In order to unravel complex circular relationship an instrumental approach with country fixed effects is used isolate causality at country-month unit analysis for period 1990 through 2012. Two variables, changes...
Many experts argue that climate change will exacerbate the severity and number of extreme weather events. Such climate-related hazards be important security concerns sources vulnerability in future regardless whether they contribute to conflict. This particularly true where these put large numbers people at risk death, requiring diversion either domestic or foreign military assets provide humanitarian relief. Vulnerability weather, however, is only partially a function physical exposure....
Increasing food prices have implications for basic subsistence, a strong price visibility and symbolic value, are characterized by high volatility inelasticity of demand. Research thus assumes that is an important trigger unrest. Yet, whether especially potent driver people's willingness to engage in collective action, or it concerns grievances about general inflation, unknown. Does greater effect on the participate unrest? The paper investigates relative importance mobilization potential...
Abstract Mesoscale eddies provide critical links between the atmosphere and ocean interior modulating exchanges of key climatic tracers across air‐sea mixed‐layer interface. eddies, widespread in Southern Ocean, are unresolved by Earth System Models; to what extent they modify contemporary future heat CO 2 uptake remains unknown. The missing contribution mesoscale their effects on properties fluxes investigated South‐East Atlantic using a resolving (1/12°) physical biogeochemical model....
