Heatwave in Russia, floods in South Asia, etc. etc.

Not to be too gloomy, but the bad news resulting from climate change seems to me to be ramping up a bit.

Interestingly (or a bit alarmingly perhaps) food prices are beginning to be significantly affected. Russia for example is banning the export of wheat this year and it is the world's third largest producer.

Watch this space...

It's hard to tell with the media whether they've just given more coverage because it fits with a narrative or whether it is actually the case... I wouldn't trust my instincts on this... nor would I trust just the one research paper ;P

And I certainly don't like implying it either, as it could easily be wrong, and because a lot of the twats who are in denial about it become even more vociferous when they feel like they're being bombarded by what they perceive to be a facile conclusion whenever catastrophe strikes.
