Climate change is predicted to affect global rainfall patterns, but there is mixed evidence with regard to the effect … of rainfall on civil conflict. Even among researchers who argue that rainfall reduces civil conflict, there is … variation in the relationship between rainfall and agricultural production to explore the connection between rainfall and civil …
