Climate change is expected to hit developing countries the hardest.

Its effectshigher temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, rising sea levels, and more frequent weatherrelated disasterspose risks for agriculture, food, and water supplies. At stake are recent gains in the fight against poverty, hunger and disease, and the lives and livelihoods of billions of people in developing countries. http://www.worldbank.org/climate_cange

Observations of our past and current climate are essential for validation of the climate models we use to project future climate, and critical in our understanding of climate variability and drivers of climate change. To make this distinction, scientists undertake detection and attribution studies. Detection demonstrates that the climate has changed in a statistically significant way, but doesn't offer any reasons for the change. Attribution establishes the most likely cause of the detected change. Detection and attribution studies of Australian climate indicate that:

Warming of climate is unequivocal. The widespread warming is very likely to be due to increased greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. A drop in rainfall in south-west Western Australia is likely due to a combination of increased greenhouse gas concentrations, natural climate variability, and land use change. The increased summer rainfall in north-west Australia may be due to increased aerosol particles in the atmosphere resulting from human activity, especially in Asia. There is growing evidence that lower rainfall and reduced runoff in south-east of Australia is linked to global warmng and cannot be explained by natural variation alone.

I grow mainly vegetables, herbs and spices but flowers have their given place too. From seed to table, this is the nursery for my living food, we cook a lot of delicious food and I say a potager is the cooks best friend. The greenhouse makes it possible to grow essential, colourful, warmth loving fruit and vegetables even in this climate such as tomatoes and chillies. http://www.networkedblogs.com/blog/the_greenhouse
