“An estimated 3.7 million people in Somalia - around a third of the population - are on the brink of starvation and millions more in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda have been struck by the worst drought in the region in 60 years”.

This is the face of climate change.  The Ethiopian famine of the 1980’s that spurred Bob Geldof to action is known to have been caused by shifting rain patterns that for thousands of years had reliably watered the Eritrean Plateau.  More severe weather, more often,  not new weather but an intensifying of existing cycles.

When people quibble about a few dollars or some inconvenience through carbon tax, this is what its all about.  Floods, fires, famines, civil wars, refugees, its all a single convengent cause. 
When you fly somewhere you don’t need to, you murder someone.

Absolute nonsense in Comment 1: to paraphrase the slogan of the America’s NRA, drought doesn’t kill people, people do.

changes in land use in the 70s and 80s had an effect here also. last time I looked money does not absorb CO2.

I am not a climate change denier but I do think it’s a bit rich linking it to what’s happening in Africa.
War, land clearing and political corruption also make a significant contribution.
And then of course there is western guilt.
We continue to pour food, medical and monetary aide into these countries the population continues to breed beyond its ability to feed itself.
Climate change or natural selection ???????
