Our farmers and the World Meteorological Organisation

Do you know that 13 of the 14 warmest years on record have happened since our calendars went from 1999 to the year 2000?

Our country has become increasingly familiar with extreme weather. In places like the Free State and North West we saw drought that devastated the prospects of farmers and reduced them to tears -- and then came floods which caused millions of rands damage! The eastern parts of the country only had floods.

The United Nations' World Meteorological Organisation released its annual report today which confirms a disquietening trend of droughts and floods and extreme weather around the world.

Climate change and global warming is one of the chapters in The Agri Handbook.
