Because of Julia's life-long experience in Africa, she might want to run with the indirect effects (see footnote above) that under-count the impacts on Africa. Or she might want to look at some really poignant examples of innocent suffering, like Bangladesh, Pakistan, the Maldives and the Kiribati Islands. The latter two are preparing to entirely abandon their nations, while the first two combined for around 400 million people, and may end up doing essentially the same thing.<br /><br />Of course, it would be particularly compelling to look at the Horn of Africa and East Africa, since Julia knows these regions from personal experience. Drought and famine have many effects, and climate change is driving many of them, but absolute cause-and-effect links are always difficult with any single climate effect. But the whole world is watching East Africa and the famine there, and few regard the famine as unrelated to climate change.<br /><br />Whatever she chooses, I will be glad to field her questions and direct her to good resources.<br /><br />One thought Julia may be willing to consider: Would she consider letting the CR publish her paper, or a shortened version of it? No pressure, but I love young writers!John Elwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144085078590610919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9049016329709213810.post-24268692975451441542012-01-22T11:05:36.835-05:002012-01-22T11:05:36.835-05:00Julia is using this post as a launching point for ...Julia is using this post as a launching point for her 10th grade research paper.
