Climate change to increase risk of food insecurity - UPI.com
UPI reports: "According to a new study, rising global temperatures will threaten many
populations' access to affordable, nutritious food.
Global warming, or climate change, is expected to increase the frequency
of extreme weather events, including droughts and floods. [...] Drought
risks are likely to be most pronounced in southern Africa and South
America, while Asia could be at greater risk of flooding. If global
temperatures rise by 2 degrees Celsius, the flow of the River Ganges
could more than double."
Comment: As we note man-made famine in the war zones of Africa, it's worth remembering that nature can also cause severe shortages.
