Climate change could trigger a surge in domestic violence against women, a concerning new study has revealed.

Researchers from University College London (UCL) analysed how extreme weather events in 156 countries were linked to rates of intimate partner violence (IPV).

They found that, in the two years following a storm, landslide, or flood, there was a rise in physical abuse and sexual violence.

This was particularly the case in countries with a lower GDP.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

However, if the women have hemorrhoids, they may also be more vulnerable to African Sleeping Sickness! *****rollingeyes*****

The two biggest reasons bad things happen are always climate change or racism.

Take your pick
