Blue and Green: Climate change makes 20 times more likely for corn and wheat crop production to decrease, significantly affecting food prices and availability in the long-term, according to a new study. Scientist from Stanford University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have said in a new study that although a massive and severe crop production slowdown is unlikely, global warming increase the risk of losses by 20 times.

The costs include low crop yields due to drought and floods, as well as increased cases of malaria and other diseases. Tanzania's economy is dependent on the climate, since a large proportion of the gross domestic product (GDP) is associated with climate sensitive activities, particularly agriculture. Therefore climate variability, such as extreme events like droughts and floods, has led...
