Poorer countries have increasingly called for climate aid as they face the worst impacts from the emissions of the world’s wealthiest.

1. The article

at the second link was very informative. snip - The warning about the food supply in the new report is much sharper in tone than any previously issued by the panel. That reflects a growing body of research about how sensitive many crops are to heat waves and water stress.
Every week there is a new oil spill, toxic spills into waterways, Monsanto poisoning our food supply. It will probably have to get much, much worse before our corporate financed governments take action.
