Wired News: Drier Times Ahead in the West?: "Evidence exists that droughts between 1998 and 2002 were linked to warmer tropical oceans. When data from those years and the new tree-ring data are plugged into computerized climate models, the resulting simulations show that warmer oceans and other climatic factors 1,100 year ago 'are surprisingly similar to what's happening currently,' "
The more I read this stuff the more I realise that whatever we do or don't do, can or can't do about climate change, we've still got to start thinking about how we move large nyumbers of people round the globe and how we change food production habits and life habits becuase it's already happening. And we need to come up with solutions to all these things that are just, fair, compassionate and don't make matters worse. Tall order. Is the human race up to it?
