Four horsemen in crazy month of May that will continue to charge in June. 1/
Hunger: worldwide, as joblessness increases. Not all govts have adequate food-support programs or $ to import food. Venezuela & Yemen, especially precarious. 2/
Pestilence: Locust swarms in East Africa that UN FAO forecasts becomes 400 times larger after extreme flooding past few months. They are migrating on winds & will spread further in South Asia threatening food security in both. 3/
Disease: US/UK stagger on w 1000s of deaths a day. '2nd Wave' scares more about 'Reopening' debate, not worsening 1st wave. WHO declared Latin America new epicentre last week. Brazil, Mexico, Peru are surging next 3 months. As are India & S Africa.4/
War: drumbeats louder in South China seas especially as US rips up arms-control treaties. 4/
We aren't in the Climate of the Bible. We are in the 21st Century's climate. This is forecast to be a very hot & dry summer in Northern hemisphere and hotter than usual oceans brew an active Atlantic hurricane & Pacific season. 5/
