Op-Ed: Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc - Air Conditioners Cause Rapes

by Chuck Michel

3:00pm Thursday, February 20, 2014

I was reminded of an old criminologists' inside joke when recent news reports announced that global warming will lead to higher crime rates (which is odd since crime in America has been in a two decade decline while global temperatures have crept upwards). Long ago someone noticed that more rapes occurred during the summer months, and also noticed people ran their air conditioners during the...
