Warming up suicide rate in the US

If global temperatures continue to rise, the number of suicides in the United States and Mexico will increase significantly. This is the conclusion reached by scientists from the University of California who have been researching the impact of climate change on conflict and violence for several decades.

The lead author of the study, published in Nature Climate Change, Solomon Siang noted that there are more wars in the world during heat and drought. The results of the new work show that in conditions of high temperature a person may be inclined not only to take someone else’s life, but also to say goodbye to his own, writes Gismeteo.

Scientists analyzed 600 of millions of messages on social networks left by residents of the United States and Mexico, and found that with the advent of heat waves, the mood of users becomes more depressed, more often thoughts about suicide appear. On average, as the average monthly temperature increased by 1%, the number of such messages increased by 0,7%. With their increase, the real number of suicides also increased.

According to climatologists, if the current rate of global warming continues, then by the year 2050 suicide cases will increase by 1,5% in the US and by 2,3% in Mexico. This means additional 40 000 suicides per year.

Recall that a few months ago scientists figured out what is happening with the climate in the US.

«Потепление в Арктике периодически заставляет высокие ветры резко менять свой ход, и когда их потоки отклоняются к югу, то холодный воздух начинает проникать туда. Следующий сдвиг происходит нескоро, из-за чего подобные эпизоды аномально холодной или теплой погоды длятся очень долго», — сказала Дженнифер Франсис, климатолог из Ратгерсовского университета.
