@Noahpinion Noah, has anyone back-tested climate scientists’ predictions over the last 20-30 years to see how accurate they’ve been?

We need climate scientists to give us a detailed, vivid picture of what a world of 2.7C warming will look like. Right now, the public has no idea what that number even means.
Zeke Hausfather@hausfath
It’s not particularly surprising when you ask scientists how hot they think the world will get in 2100 they give you answers more or less in-line with current policy scenarios in the literature (e.g. around 2.7C +/- 1C): theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Really a pleasure to launch our DiGES project today. DiGES supports fruit and vegetables production and consumption via climate adaptation. Support from @SciforAfrica. Led by @AlcadeCS, @wtocarr and Aziz from @nana_gambia. Thanks to all our stakeholders.
MRC Unit The Gambia at LSHTM@mrcunitgambia
In collaboration with @nana_gambia & @BiovIntCIAT_eng, we launched the Diversifying Gambian Diets for Health & Environmental Sustainability (DiGES) project The 24-month initiative supported by @SciforAfrica will boost production of underutilised crops resilient to #ClimateChange

Modified sowing dates and climate-resilient varieties are most effective. Increasing the amount of fertiliser is not really an adaptation to climate change, but will be important to increase yields now and in the future due to the low soil productivity in this region. 2/3

I am happy to share our first paper since I joined @LSHTM. doi.org/10.1088/1748-9…
Our systematic review shows that farming methods used in West Africa can largely mitigate and even offset the negative impacts of climate change on important crops. 1/3

one more step closer to achieving a better understanding of
🌍 land degradation patterns. Just out the study led by Remus Prăvălie assessing the arable lands under the pressure of multiple land degradation processes.
