claim: The rapid changes in the climate may have profound consequences for humans and other species… Severe drought caused food shortages for millions of people in Ethiopia, with a lack of rainfall resulting in “intense and widespread” forest fires in Indonesia that belched out a vast quantity of greenhouse gas
evidence: A primary cause of the famine ( one of the largest seen in the country ) is that Ethiopia ( and the surrounding Horn ) was still recovering from the droughts which occurred in the mid-late 1970s.
