Climate, conflict, and African development: Edward Miguel at TEDxBerkeley

[@eliasreed-miguel]

Good presentation, interesting topic.

[@eliasreed-miguel]

Even another reason to deal with climate change!

So, we can just install air-cons to these hot places (like in Singapore and Hong Kong they have lots of air-cons) and we'll have less civil conflicts?

[@okodi]

Yeah, just look at Dubai...! As countries in Africa modernizes and urbanizes, these conflicts driven by civil unrest will decrease more and more in scale.

[@Bonieking]

What a waste of time. This talk is very shallow....

[@sir_weltschmerz]

Is this whole thing really just "people get cranky when they're hot"? This reeks of the "noble savage" too.

[@tejjaskumar7134]

It wasn't a great presentation but the concept is more to do with the impact of global warming on drought and crop yields. It significantly hurts economic growth in what are mostly agrarian economies that rely on crop exports to generate government funding. When states do not receive the necessary funds they are unable to satisfy the needs of the many and this tends to inspire conflict. This appears to be the syllogism however I can't comment on it's validity because I have not studied the topic in great depth.

Environmental determinism anyone... this is highly problematic discourse

Africa is one country

[@twathikapo8502]

This is a very shallow talk on Africa...the generalization is a low blow and I don't think your research was thorough at all....

[@user-dd5kx5md5o]

You sound like the people that said, "where is the evidence proving the world isn't flat"..

[@chrissukstorf9177]

Those studies looked pretty thorough...

[@abdulrahmankhatib8595]

This talk is very shallow

[@charlottemben432]
