It’s a common phrase, “hot and bothered”.
That report highlighted a number of consequences of the climate crisis that could be avoided by limiting global heating to 1.5ºC, as opposed to 2ºC or more. “Global heating is really changing the weather patterns. We had two cyclones in Mozambique, that’s climate crisis; in France it was 45°C last week, that’s climate emergency. The drought in Cape Town, that was climate crisis, the floods in Durban – climate crisis. Climate affects everything in humans too, from preterm labour to violence, aggression and nutrition. There’s not a single part of life it doesn’t affect.
“Men appear to be particularly sensitive to the effects of heat on aggression. Hot weather also alters behaviour, for example, resulting in people tending to congregate outdoors, with increased opportunities for contact crimes and violence,” the report found, referencing previous studies on gender differences in response to temperature.Only a few studies so far have looked at the impact of temperature on rates of violence in South Africa.
