International Climate Outlooks: Uganda 

@koicaine1230 imagine if we put this percentage of our resources into a sustainable food future. That would transform the world. That would give us all a chance.

@@AmericanResiliency Yes!!!!

@michaelschiessl8357 thank you. I agree there are similarities- in both cases, theft and then blame pointing the wrong way!

@Corrie-fd9ww bringing up rest- hah! The most radical and forbidden of all concepts to the American audience! Learning to rest was a big turning point in my life. I'm still bad at it. The way we are taught- on every level around here- is so opposed to rest, that I can only see it a matter for practice, rather than an achievement.

@AmericanResiliency facts!! With rest, I think for Americans, it’s a practice makes progress, never perfection, situation 🤣 I’m really grateful for teachers of resting, in nature.

@Mike80528 I think it's critical we better understand both the work being done & the adaptation needs in these more impacted areas. There's no outlook in the US that sucks this bad except for maybe Arizona. 136 additional warm nights!? And World Bank calls a warm night over 26C- which is like 79F. Miserable conditions- conditions that would cause human misery. Please let your wife know I will keep an eye out for chocolate futures info ;-)

Unfortunately we will see spikes in the price of chocolate as the cocoa bean is only grown in selective areas of moderate temps and perfect soils..These areas are getting hammered by the changes in climate!!

@@michaelschiessl8357 this may speak to a less than positive mindset on my behalf, but at this point I get excited if it's even a little plausible that crops like coffee and cocoa will still be growable near-term. Like on that coffee visual- the area is shrinking *dramatically*, but I was just happy to see it was still there!

@@michaelschiessl8357 Yeah, I am a bit aware of the situation. Chocolate will probably become a luxury again fairly soon, while it remains...

I’ve been experimenting with alternatives to coffee and chocolate that are either native or naturalized plant and tree species! I mean it’s never gonna be the same taste and experience but I really enjoy my off-grid snacks 🤣 I’m hoping these hazelnut trees we are planting will produce well and I can make my off-grid nutella

@ph5915 I want to spend more time looking into the climate projections for many of these Asian countries. I have family from Thailand- learning about the agriculture there from my aunts as a child was the first thing that made me think more deeply about agricultural and food systems- the village agriculture where they came from is so different and so much more interconnected.

@@AmericanResiliency Oh that's interesting! I know that in the northern/rural/agricultural region of Thailand, they have a "burning season" after the crops are harvested, they just burn the remains of the plants to clear the ground, it causes bad air quality for a few weeks. That's an old method, I wish they didn't do that. I'm more of a city boy, From what I've seen of the big city areas, Wow! it's a 1st world nation there! Everything modern! The Philippines is spotty, as I suspect one can imagine, over 7,000 islands, 2,000 inhabited, it's hard to have contiguous infrastructure and standards. Some cities are nice, some are not, infrastructure, pollution, etc.

@@ph5915 I've never visited anywhere in that part of the world! If I ever go I've got to make a long one of it, check out all kinds of places.

@Patrick_Ross I don't know if people get how bad it is and how whiney we look to people experiencing this level of change.

To paraphrase Parenti: "Developing" is (neo)colonial language. They're not "poor" or (perpetually) "developing"; they're amongst the richest in the world, but they're *exploited* and *impoverished*. That hyper-exploitation is the same *root driving force* of both unprecedented rate of change in Earth systems + resultant ongoing mass extinction, and the reason the global majority continues to live in indescribable discomfort for 500 years despite mass abundance during the stable sub-1.5°C post-scarcity era. Increasing adaptation and resilience is key, amd I love AR for focusing on it, but it is our primary moral duty, especially those of us in the imperial core, who hold disproportionate power and influence compared to those in the periphery, to do everything in our power to force emergency measures which shut down the unsustainable globalized neoliberal machine like Covid did, but this time permanently.
