At risk of starting a vitriolic debate on this hugely fashionable
and "in"
subject - I personally have just a tiny little, teen weeny, very small,
back-of-the-mind suspicion that part of the Global Warming thing is to
maintain the status quo and the economic/agricultural power of the
existing major world economies ....do "we" (in the "West") really want
Kenyan farmers climbing out of poverty and potentially turning their
economy around?

I wonder why Kenyans can't grow food for their own use.

Perhaps I'm naive ...

.... you are.

Why not wonder why UK has to import cucumbers and lettuce etc. from
Holland &
Spain.

Exactly - why? Because we want to have them all year round instead of
eating the vegies in season like our parents did?

Better still - grow our own [not that I do with my tiny courtyard I have
to admit ] they certainly taste better.
