The world faces a “perpetual food crisis” because global warming will likely lead to massive and simultaneous crop failures in many regions, possibly as early as the period from 2040 to 2060, a new study says.

The finding, appearing in the journal Science, is based on climate models that suggest the worst heat waves of the past – such as the one in Europe in 2003 that killed at least 30,000 people – are likely to become the new normal summertime temperatures.

The world has been watching in horror at the senseless violence in Palestine.

Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian physician, was interviewed by CBS news, and his account is chilling – thousands wounded, more than half are women and children, with horrifying wounds. Amputation and strange injuries are the norm. As he says, this is open war on a population that cannot flee… bombing people in a cage.

And then we had a truce that lasted all of 15 minutes – suspending conflict to allow humanitarian relief, then kicking the people out to start the conflict again.

Now, we have more horror stories with the finding of 70 Palestinian corpses near a bombed out house and the International Red Cross finding 4 weak children alongside their dead mothers.
