Economics of climatic change: No longer remote, let's timely tame it

Climate change has lots of sceptics, including a former USA president. But the reality on the ground is slowly winning them over. I have personally noted that fruits are ripening later in my village, the rain coming later and insects that we never used too see like mosquitoes are common. In fact, if Kenya were to be recolonised, I doubt if the Mzungu would settle in the white highlands where malaria was unheard of.

Did you hear of recent cyclones on East African coast? Flooding in South Africa? Noted how Nairobi has become wetter and colder? One farmer from Nyahururu has narrated how he used to harvest potatoes three times a year, then twice and now is waiting for the rains.
