The affect on food production of strange and extreme weather is already helping to push up prices in the shops. The African floods follow drought, there again is drought in Australia causing the government there to again cut it’s yield estimate for this years wheat crop. In Europe we had record breaking rainfall in early summer in the west of the continent at the same time as drought in the east. Large areas of theUS also had severe drought.
If all this is caused by a one degree rise in average temperature, how on earth will we cope with the two degrees and more that now seems certain without drastic action being taken?
