Some interesting observations with an even more interesting conclusion, found at the bottom.

Tale of 2 Cities

	CHICAGO		HOUSTON, TX
Population	2.7 million		2.15 million
Median HH Income	$38,600		$37,000
% African-American	38.9%		24%
% Hispanic	29.9%		44%

Pretty similar until you compare the following:

Homicides per 100K	38.4		9.6
Avg. January high temperature  (F)	31		63

   

Conclusion :  Cold weather causes murders. This is due to global warming.
