they now seem to come more often, are less predictable and are
more powerful. River erosion has increased and the sea levels have
risen bringing salty water farther inland. In many places, life as
people knew it is no longer the same...The 150 million inhabitants
of Bangladesh adapt, cope and innovate in the face of this change.
Many have migrated to the capital Dhaka and other cities further
inland, which has caused the population in these cities to swell

<font size="-1">The 2003 European heat wave led to the hottest
summer on record in Europe since at least 1540.[1] France was hit
especially hard. The heat wave led to health crises in several
countries and combined with drought to create a crop shortfall in
parts of Southern Europe. Peer-reviewed analysis places the
European death toll at more than 70,000.[2] The predominant heat
was recorded in late summer, partly a result of the western
European seasonal lag from the maritime influence of the Atlantic
warm waters in combination with hot continental air and strong
southerly winds.</font><br>

agriculture, researchers typically run a combination of climate
and crop models that project how yields of maize, wheat, and other
key crops will change over time. But the suite of models commonly
used in these simulations, which account for a wide range of
uncertainty, produces outcomes that can range from substantial
crop losses to bountiful harvests. These mixed results often leave
farmers and other agricultural stakeholders perplexed as to how
best to adapt to climate change. (First see the Battisti video

Dr. Battisti is a most respected global warming scientist specializing in food futures teaching at University of Washington. I've heard a few of his lectures - but this talk seems to compress much of his work. In this talk in Tucson, he addresses an older audience in clear language using plenty of graphics. I suspect that many other food studies will be in reaction to this. For anyone studying this aspect of global warming, this is an important overview. Fast, dense, and plenty of new information. Very little of it is pleasant... all of it forthright. If you watch only a few serious lectures on global warming -- be sure to make this one of them.
