Warm climate is the main reason for cannibalism. A group of scientists from the University of Toronto came to such a sensational conclusion. After conducting an experiment on dragonflies, scientists found that the higher the air temperature, the more likely it is to be eaten by representatives of its own species. Another proof of the theory was the fact that all cases of cannibalism occurred in the southern territories. What is the threat of global warming of the terrestrial fauna? How will it affect the behavior of animals and can it provoke changes in the human psyche?
Canadian researchers have been studying global warming for over 10 years. Based on the data obtained, scientists are trying to predict the impact of future climate changes on individuals of different species. The latest results have shocked millions of people and here is the forecast: an increase in temperature will lead to an outbreak of cannibalism.
The reason for such a bold conclusion was the results of the experiment, and the researchers chose dragonflies as experimental subjects. The fact is that these insects are much closer to us than it might seem. First, they multiply rapidly. Secondly, just like humans, they are predators and a change in air temperature affects them no less than us.
The researchers noticed that in a warmer environment, dragonflies become sharply aggressive, warming up their body grows faster and requires more nutrition, appetite increases, and competition for food grows with appetite. It is at this moment that the law of nature is triggered and the strongest wins, thus the stronger individuals begin to eat those who are weaker. It seems inconceivable, but scientists claim that people will face the same fate.
Scientists say that global warming is inevitable. Climatologists have already developed a table of the end of the world - a 6-degree plan for raising the temperature of the world's oceans. With each new degree it will be harder to survive on land. At the moment when the mark rises to +4, Asia and Central Europe turn into a lifeless desert, food supplies on the planet will become scarce, but perhaps humanity will be able to avoid a catastrophe. Indeed, in the 21st century, billions of dollars are spent annually on the problem of combating global warming and preserving the planet's ecology.
It's hard to believe, but cannibalism still exists today. Tourists who decide to visit the Southeastern part of Papua New Guinea, North India (where the cannibal colony lives), West Africa, Fiji and the Congo are in danger of being eaten, but the most surprising thing is that those who decides to visit Brazil. Despite the fact that the tribes of cannibals here eradicated back in the 60s, the low standard of living in the slums sometimes pushes people to eat their own kind.
