Comment on The West is Food Insecure- Food rots in Kenya as volcano shows might! by Editor

The perfect example of an ecosystem can be inferred from this volcanic activity. Links and diversity are the mainstay of resilience. In todays world, the roads and air traffic form the veins and webs that shuttle the life support ingredients from one extreme to another. The sad side, these new forms of connection do not have a life, they are dead. They are not able to morph into any other form besides what they are—- rigid. When they fail, the world will fail alongside it… we need to think of alternatives… as the planes start to fly into the unknown zones let it be known that life is more than just …our monetary needs…there is more to this than meets the eye..

@vicki assevero,
Vicki,
There are many models that exist that are climate friendly, however, simply put, it is only those who are in the know that can access resources that directly support agriculture within the frame of CC. That said, we are now working on the nexus of Energy and Agriculture- which is a model that can easily be integrated into CC. visit shalinry.org for some more info. Regards … Peter

Comment on Iceland prepares for second, more devastating volcanic eruption – Times Online by HAFF

The Icelandic volcano that erupted for the second time in four weeks may ignite a geological chain reaction with another volcano nearby, potentially extending a disruption to air traffic as ash plumes block flight paths, a geological researcher said.

The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in southern Iceland is adjacent to the Katla volcano, increasing the risk of a second eruption, said Ármann Höskuldsson, a volcanologist at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland. The Eyjafjallajokull last erupted in 1821 and remained active for two years, according to the researche

@Siyowi B Mapani, You views are very pertinent and goes way down to the whole concept of development. Do you see a link between development and decolonizing the mind?

Africa lacks leadership on climate change issues. Partly due to the fact that money for research is sourced in the western hemisphere (USA, Canada) and Europe.

African governments are not really interested in climate science research by their own scientists, perhaps with exception of South Africa.
This leads to the situation where most raw data on climate science is from Europe and North America. The debate here is based on regional models, with few real studies that generate new ground breaking data in variuos countries. Who is to blame?
