Famine in 2027?

[old man emu]

The severity of temperature and lack of rainfall in the Northern Hemisphere in the summer of 2026 could be the lead in to a famine that would affect the whole of Mankind. The high temperatures, and especially the lack of rain are already having deliterious effects on the economies of European countries. Allied to those are the effects of the war in the Ukraine which produces a great deal of Europe's grain. We don't know much about what is happening to agriculture in Russia, nor China. Here in Australian we are looking towards another summer of high heat and low rainfall. 

 

The high temperatures and low rainfall are without precedent in recorded European history. Thre have been famine years, but never before has such a huge population been affected.

That is why I posted the map of the Pacific Ocean temperatures.

When all that warm ocean arrives at our east coast, there will be consequences.

I'm no weather expert but suspect it brings bigger more violent storms, which won't help our farmers.

I started this thread to free the discussion from the "climate change debate" thread which seems to deal with power generation. This thread will give a place to talk about other climate-related matters.
