You know when we first started seeing growing populations and development of agriculture? When the climate started an exceptionally long stable period. Guess what’s going put of the window now? Planting for draught because that’s the “new normal” won’t get you far if the next year happens to be the wettest on record.

And then there’s the refugee problem on top of all that.

In some places, there’s a lack of experienced people maintaining the data.
