A gathering of UK based scientists came together to (once again) sound an urgent alarm about imminent global change, including the elevated risks of a shutdown in Atlantic currents, which would have an enormous impact, in particular on agriculture, in the UK and Northern Europe.
The scientists signed a letter to Prime Minister Keri Starmer and the leadership of the UK’s leading broadcast networks, urging greater seriousness on climate issues, and “an urgent televised national emergency briefing for the public, and to run a comprehensive public engagement campaign so that everyone understands the profound risks this crisis poses to themselves and their families.”
Note about those stats: In the UK, “corn” refers to cereal grains (wheat, barley, etc.). What Americans call “corn” is referred to as “maize” in the UK.
