East Africa is ground zero for climate change. In Kenya where community leaders tell NBC News Chief International Correspondent Keir Simmons of fertile lands just a decade ago that now looked to me a lot like dessert. These are not the people who caused climate change, yet they are suffering from global warming that has nothing to do with them. But it’s not just climate – conflict around the world is also driving food insecurity. “Scorched: East Africa’s Climate Crisis” looks at the global forces at play and asks how we can address these issues.

5 YEARS NO RAIN humans are starving in Africa because OF THE WORLDS CONSUMPTION!
Permaculture is the answer
This is nothing new but maybe more people will notice .I was a failure to thrive baby too and I’ve never been the same it gave me several mental health issues and delays they’ll never be the same
This is just beaconing to fraudsters. There is at least 6 fraudulent posts on GoFundMe right now!
Caucasians love exploiting people
I don't believe none of this
The Bible talks about climate change. It says the Earth will become so hot. That the sun will cause green grass to caught fire.
The liberals of congress have been busy for 2 years trying convict trump over a piece of paper. They don’t have time in their schedule for this sadly. Maybe the next administration will take notice.
What or who did cause climate change? God?
In America, were having global cooling.
In America, were having global cooling.
They need some man made lakes & then with water they can grow sweet potatoes, etc in big pots & send them potting soil & then they can start composting to make free soil
Why aren't we sending them food & water??? Canned goods like green beans, peas , etc contain food & they can drink the water it's packed in as well as canned fruits. USA could be sending beef jerky also & lotsa oatmeal, powdered milk, etc. Oatmeal is cheap & very filling. Instant potatoes very filling also & raw bagged beans that are cheap. If the News would give us Americans an address there we would all donate/send food. Not sending money cuz that doesn't prove they have food. We could send clothes too. Nobody ever gives an address. Horrible!
I get people are upset that the rich get richer and yes I agree with that statement but think about it, our daily decisions affect the climate and they are suffering due to our decisions. You can’t just sit back blaming!!!!! Those big businesses like slaughter houses are creating a pretty big amount of ruining our land and air and continue to pollute. We can put them out of business by not eating meat anymore!!!!! People sure can give their opinions and point fingers but there are things WE all can do to give our part!
This is the reason it's hard to trust the media.
I come from Kenya, and all I see is lies and propaganda here. Climate change is real for us. We have seen permanent change in seasons. Unpredictable climate.
But the journalist here lied a lot.
It's like going to the Great Basin Desert and trying to convince people this was the most arrable land in America.
Are the communities suffering? YES! Was it a desert before? YES! Has it become worse? Yes!
Do not go to Nevada to show climate change. Go to where farming has been occurring and show the difference from 1998 to today.
Lies and propaganda information. Let’s hear from their representatives capitals
northern Kenya has always been desert this story that it's fertile oasis is BS
Its soooo hard to build immense evaporation pools, or water gathering atmosphere sails, but you give dependences. So likely you would genocide them as well.
A really REALLY big greenhouse 😛 But, its just bribes to your elitists, for imperialistic lying.
I'm frustrated. Because it's sad to watch people literally suffer from no fault of their own while others in my country (America) turn a blind eye. The rich people get richer while the rest of the world suffer from disease, hunger & climate change they did not create! We are all one. We are all connected. The greed & cruelty(wars) MUST end. We need peace,love,food & water.💦💖🥥🍇
It's horrible that the poorest countries are suffering the most from the actions of the rich and ultra rich.
How about learn how to spell Desert, before you flap your gums about your lame Climate change BS? 🤔
The future is in Africa
May God bless this land. 🙏
These people in the media are idiots
Horrible , and the animals are so skinny😟 Evidently there are millions of dollars to give to one country for WAR but NONE for another country for FOOD and WATER😑 Just doesn't make sense to me, this is just so sad and awful.
US and NATO are busy on war. They love war, they “US” spending billions for war instead of helping hungry people.
We all cause climate change including them stop trying to exclude them when third world countries are one of the most major polluters and contributors to climate change
Trying to help my mate build a well. It’s pretty bad. No water! No Rain! John needs a well to help serve his community.

There are women…
There are children (magically, I suppose)…
They all risk their lives just so secure water for themselves and their livestock…
WHERE ARE THE MEN?!?!
What are THEY up to????
16 and 17, pregnant… HOW, with no men around 😲😲
It baffles my mind 🤯🤯
Every environmental change is caused by climate, no argument needed 😅
human race is FU&$ED
Any way we can send some fat Americans there and bring some of them here? Win win situation.
If we can send money to Ukraine, why can't we send the same amount to help Kenyan
that looks bad…
good luck, i hope u guys get food and water..
