Yesterday 19 October 2010 the Universities Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) issued a press release describing its work on the water supply aspects of climate change: Climate change: Drought may threaten much of globe within decades. The release and the research on which it is based provide yet more evidence, as if such were needed, of how critical climate change is to the human future. No, agriculture cannot simply move from Iowa to northern Manitoba for all to be well! The drying out of middle latitude zones is ominous indeed and does not bode well for maintaining a decent standard of living for the world's increasing human population. The online version of Scientific American has an interesting article based on the UCAR report.
