What does this have to do with the lives of billions of people living far away from the war? Oil price increases. The conflict has caused an increase in international oil prices, which have now crossed $130 per barrel,

Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Solna, Sweden, speculate that an increase in global average temperature of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit could cause heat waves that would boost hospitalizations for hyponatremia (insufficient amount of salt in the bloodstream to sustain proper body electrical function) by 6.3%, and warming of 3.6 degrees F would boost hospitalizations by
