It's a fact: hot weather makes people want to kill each other

File this one under "well duh"

A recent broad scale study of human behavior has demonstrated that weather which is unusually hot or dry (or both) is strongly correlated with acts of aggression, from murder rates to civil wars. Of course this should be common knowledge to anyone who has ever been in weather which is unusually hot or dry (or both), but now it's science!
