While scientists and politicians in the developed world continue their tedious arguments about whether climate change is really happening, farmers in Africa have not only accepted it but are adjusting their entire lives to deal with rapid weather shifts brought on by global warming. Local environmental groups have been tracking dramatic seasonal changes in Benin, Kenya and Malawi, nations with a lot of farmland that have traditionally relied primarily on rain to irrigate crops. Now the rainy season is no longer adequate, and farmers have come up with some solutions that aren't in the Kyoto Protocols.
io9 is a fun site for any sci-fi fans. It focuses on the crossroads between science fiction and emerging technology. I occasionally find something of wider interest posted there.
