BBL with Arvid Bring on Climate, Conflict and Cooperation, 9 Nov. at SRC

Climate, conflict and cooperation: antagonisms and advances in recent research<br /><br />Does climate play a role in conflicts, and how can we find out? <br />Ironically, research examining conflicts and their possible relation to climate and weather events has been subject to a pronounced animosity between scientists with opposing views. In this seminar, Arvid Bring (<a href="http://www.arvidbring.se" target="_blank">http://www.arvidbring.se</a>/) will present an overview of the research on how climate relates to social events, in particular conflicts. He will also discuss the popular perception of coming "water wars" in a warmer climate.<br />
