North Koreans Facing Food Shortage From Record Low Temps
Posted by crthead on June 4, 2008
Well, the stories keep coming in and this one is very interesting. It appears that North Koeans as the title says are facing a food crisis. You would automatically think, well, must be they are experiencing drought conditions because of Global Warming right? Wrong my friend. The Associated Press ran this story a couple of weeks ago, reporting on how the record low temperatures are directly effecting crop yields there.
North Korea’s average high temperature in May has been about 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit lower than in previous years, with temperatures in northern parts of the nation dipping below the freezing point, the official Korean Central News Agency said.
Sounds pretty unusual to me. You can read the entire report here:

Very interested to know what people think regarding this.
