Popis:	The potential relationship between climate change and conflict is intriguing and warrants rigorous study. However, the proposition by Burke et al. (1) that warming may be a directly causative factor in the risk of civil war in Sub-Saharan Africa seems unlikely. The analysis of Burke et al. (1) suggests instead a tenuous historical association between warming and increased conflict. Regrettably, the authors did not elucidate further with either (i) specific case studies that demonstrate warming as a causative factor above economic, political, and sociocultural precipitants of conflict or (ii) a more thorough investigation of how climate-induced problems in agricultural sectors may result in increased conflict.
