The Weather is Changing Around the Globe – Famine: It’s Not Just A Foreign Thing

We watch the famines that roll by in foreign nations and most of us have a mixture of feelings. Sympathy at the suffering, anger at those nations rulers for not doing more…there’s a gamut of emotions particularly for the children who are powerless to do anything about it. What rarely crosses our minds though is ‘how would I cope?’. The reason this doesn’t enter our heads is that we live in lands of plenty, where food has always been available, and always will be…or will it?

Famine has many causes. War and civil strife with populations always on the move is a major contributor in countries like Sudan. Itinerant populations don’t plant crops, there’s little point when you are constantly upping sticks and fleeing either from your own government or from one of the numerous militia groups that roam the countryside.

Syria, a country wracked by civil war is another example of conflict leading to food shortages and history is littered with other examples where the cause and the outcome are the same.

There are also numerous examples of famines caused not by war and conflict, but by heat and cold, by drought and flood and there is no reason at all that a weather related famine could not happen in the first world.

The weather is changing around the globe, not as a result of global warming in my opinion, but just as part of a cycle the Earth goes through.

On a personal level I believe the planet is actually cooling, more and more scientists are changing their mind about global warming, quite simply because the planet isn’t warming anymore.

A cooling planet will present problems we haven’t had to deal with before, growing zones will change, and with it the foods that we eat. More and more weather related incidents will prevent haulage from moving foods from the warehouses to the stores. The unprepared will be hungry, even if it is just for a few days until the latest storm passes.

What though if it doesn’t pass in a few days?

For three years running large swathes of the UK were under water. Arable land lay under feet of water, tainted with salt from sea flooding in many places. Like the United States the UK works on a just in time delivery network, a network that wasn’t working too well at the height of the floods due to power cuts that prevents the computer systems from listing what needs to go where, even where the electricity supply was working so many towns were cut off physically by the water and downed bridges that the trucks delivering the food couldn’t get through.
