The slow drip of climate change

[bogfit]

About 6 or 7 years ago I began posting my research into the effects of climate change on mining operations.  One member who Rocky may remember once denigrated my concerns as “jabber”.  The problem is that while a few of the weather effects are dramatic such as mass flooding, most consequences are made in tiny steps that only become apparent over time.

Political and social stability in South American regions is of vital concern to mine investors and this article points out how life is impacted by rising fuel costs, while in Africa the threat comes from hunger and loss of agricultural production due to drought 

“As daily life grows more expensive, could the popular anger seen in Panama, Ecuador and Argentina spread to Colombia and other countries in the region?
"It's really not a question of if, but of when," says Guzman of Colombia's Risk Analysis.
He argues that regional governments won't be able to spend enough to mitigate the rising cost of living and pacify their populations. "As pockets tightens, people will be losing their patience, not because of anything the governments do, but because these countries don't have the capacity to increase social spending."
