Communism is endangering China’s food security
Extreme rainfall over two decades? A very weird way of putting things. Chinese statistics are not to be trusted.
“The study of Yunshan Diary finds that there was a relatively low amount of precipitation in central and southern Jiangsu Province in the summer of 1309; the winter of 1308–1309 was abnormally cold in the Taihu Lake Basin.
In the early 14th century at the latest, the climate in eastern China had begun to turn cold, which reflects the transition from the Medieval Warm Period to the Little Ice Age.”

Perhaps the Dutch should keep their cows and export grain to China.

The WEF thinks Nigeria will have more people than China. And Joe Biden wants to eliminate fossil fuel use.
Maybe we should phase out fossil fools.
I suspect that the inclusion of the words “climate change” in the opening paragraphs of an article are a contributing factor for FR’s notorious failures to read the article. I pretty much stopped after seeing those words.
“extreme rainfall has led to ... concerns caused by ... severe droughts”
Soooo, climate change brought extreme rainfall, except where it gave us severe droughts. It’s almost as if they’ve set up climate change as an unfalsifiable belief system.
God controls the weather. Not man. Got a problem with the weather? Talk to God. Not politicians.
We commit regions to agriculture that have never been used to that degree before (via fertilization, irrigation…). These regions are more sensitive to normal weather pattern changes. Then we are surprised when output variations occur over decades Same thing happens in California.
And then we strain ourselves to explain that it is caused by man made global (fill in the blank).
