"Our new paper, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates that, in some locations, crop yield shocks can be predicted more than six months ahead of time and – in certain cases – before a crop is even planted."

Climate scientists will spend years debating this enormous Absorbed Solar Radiation increase.
Some will call it a strong aerosol forcing, some a climate feedback, some 'the pattern effect'.
The result is the same = more heat accumulating faster on Earth, accelerating regional and global warming.

Thanks to climate change, olive oil is becoming a luxury due to price - as I’m sure you’ve noticed. It is the most shoplifted item in half of Spain’s supermarkets. When I lived in Greece it was a cheap staple. Not anymore.
