Both Wordsworth and Thoreau knew that when the light of common day seemed no more than common it was because of something lacking in them, not because of something lacking in it, and what they asked for was eyes to see a universe they knew was worth seeing. For that reason theirs are the best of all attempts to describe what real awareness consists of…that the rare moment is not the moment when there is something worth looking at but the moment when we are capable of seeing it.

meteorologist responsible for integrating climate and weather analysis into food security monitoring for the UN World Food Programme
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6198601.stm
...droughts are hitting faster across East Africa and the Horn...
In its annual report on the state of food insecurity, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said the number of undernourished people in the world was rising by four million a year.
The situation is worst in sub-Saharan Africa...
...drought was fast followed by the worst floods in the Horn of Africa in years.
If we cannot help people survive today's extreme weather, there's little point worrying about future climate change...
In emergencies, local and regional food prices often skyrocket...
...World Food Programme is piloting humanitarian drought insurance in Ethiopia as one of several tools to help people hit by climate change...
...the first time in history that humanitarian risk was transferred from a developing country to developed countries using such market mechanisms.
Other public-private partnerships are now being built to use creative financial instruments to benefit developing countries where climate change is likely to hit hardest. For instance, microfinance institutions in India, working with a Swiss re-insurer, are assisting farmers in Andhra Pradesh to use "weather hedges" against lower than expected monsoon rains.
People who depend on the land need all our efforts to build livelihoods that are less vulnerable to bad weather...
...buying time definitely isn't a solution.
But...it is much better than doing nothing, in the absence of a massive sustainable drive to tackle the true causes of both climate change and the hunger fast growing across Africa.
