How global food production is being concentrated, and the risks that are entailed (a report from DW).  The basic principles of food security are being ignored by the conglomerates that control much of its supply.  “In order to insure food security, you need high agro-diversity so that climate change, floods and other weather impacts don’t have such a strong effect on the farming system,” Wenz said.

Jennifer Francis offers further explanation about the development of climatic feedbacks in the Arctic.  This adds a new dimension to her theories about the wavy behavior of the jet stream.  The short video helps to explain the persistence of the extreme heat anomaly this winter, even in the presence of utter darkness.
Today’s Climate Reanalyzer shows how the anomaly in the center of the Arctic Ocean is as strong as ever, or much like it has been for the last couple of months.  In contrast, the anomalies on the main continents generally come and go in a random way every few days under the influence of moving fronts.  While at the site, take another look at the extended Atlantic Ocean in the Temperature link.  What you see in the air around Franz Josef Land (east of Svalbard) is comparable to current averages in Iowa and Nebraska, while trying to sneak up on the North Pole itself!

A message to the world from China’s Premier Xi Jinping.  He is emphatic about following through with the progress made in the Paris agreement, and is willing to actively provide global leadership regardless of US intentions.  “We should join hands and rise to the challenge,” he said. “Let us boost confidence, take actions and work together for a bright future.”  Recent Chinese actions have been consistent with his words.
