The sky is warming, the sky is warming, the sky is warming! Once, not too long ago in a fact, anyone who muttered those words was immediately branded as a tree-hugging, environmental nutcase. Chicken Little in Birkenstocks.

Now, however, with the weight of the world's scientific community on their side, these once rare birds are starting to crow more confidently and are finding friends in unusual places.

The National Farmers Union in the UK has just released a report talking about how climate change might impact the UK's ability to feed itself. With 60% of the country's best farmland at 15 feet (5 meters) above sea level or less, these impacts would be nothing less than catastrophic. The report also warns that if oil prices continue to rise it will no longer be cost effective to bring in food from abroad, and far more will have to be produced in the UK.

One more argument and ally in the movement to localize and decentralize the global food system.
