....the primary impact of SYG is to increase the loss of human life……

26. Dude:

If you have a sample of 4 seconds of data from the sun, and you have 3.99999 seconds of it being X degrees, and suddenly there is a spike of X+150 Degrees, you may think something odd happened. So you look at the data you have and control things out, and find that immediately before the spike, Y happened. Based on your data, you may conclude that Y has something to do with the spike.

Then you go back and look at a year's worth of data from the sun and see that these spikes happen a couple of times, and in none of the other situations did Y occur. You must therefore conclude that Y was not necessarily the cause of the X+150 spike. It may be, but it may not be, you have a metric shit-tonne of more studying to do before your conclusions mean anything. That's all I'm saying.

This study, by not looking at the decades of available crime data is basically employing post hoc ergo propter hoc.
