HAWKINS: Global warming is back
After two years of rau-cous meetings at great ho-tels and re-sorts around the world, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) failed to deliver a treaty in Copenhagen in December.

Most of these areas do not contribute to the global food supply in a noteworthy proportion.
