According to a study published in Science, it has been unveiled that rise in climate change has led to rise in violence taking place across the world.

The study was carried out by a group of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley. The study researchers were of the view that they have found even the slight increase in temperature to be associated with rise in rapes and murders.

"This is a relationship we observe across time and across all major continents around the world. The relationship we find between these climate variables and conflict outcomes are often very large", said Marshall Burke.

In order to reach at the above given result, the study researchers have assessed 60 studies that have taken place across the globe. These studies were based on the data that has been collected over a period of time.

After assessing the data, study researchers found a correlation between climate and conflict. The study researchers said that they have found that rising temperature are correlated with bigger clashes like civil wars in Africa.

There are a number of reasons for which correlation is in existence. One of the factors suggested is economic conditions. The study has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
