Breathlessly, the announcement!!
From Philadelphia to Portland, cities across the United States are experiencing spikes in gun violence on warm days. Researchers have begun to explore heat as a contributor to firearm violence, but current research on this subject is limited, focusing only on a few cities.
Now, a new study by Boston University School of Public Health and the University of Washington School of Social Work provides a first-of-its-kind analysis of heat-attributable shootings as a nationwide problem.
Published in the journal JAMA Network Open, the study found a consistent relationship between higher temperatures and higher risk of shootings in 100 of the country's most populated cities....
GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!! It's GLOBAL WARMING, I say!!
However, if you've lived and observed 'the news' for more than 15 years, this is.......ahhh..........normal. Late spring, summer, and most of fall, people are outdoors, and so are the gang-bangers. They hibernate during the winter.
Sheesh.
