Leaked climate report: food shortages and poverty rise
Found on New Scientist on Tuesday, 05 November 2013
There is no respite. Left unabated, climate change will cause global shortages of food and water, and drive people into deeper poverty. This is the upshot of the next Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report on the societal impacts of climate change, according to a leaked draft.
By exacerbating poverty, climate change may also increase the risk of violent conflict.
Nothing will happen because politicians will simply downplay (or just ignore) the problem, assuming that it will go away with their "what I don't see is not there" mentality. So you better don't prepare for a zombie outbreak, but for food fights.
