Adrian Ramsay MP reacts to worrying El Niño news

 Adrian Ramsay, Green MP for Waveney Valley, reacts to today's news that record global temperatures are likely as the chance of a very strong El Niño grows.

Adrian said 

"It is becoming increasingly clear that El Niño is stronger than previously expected. While its immediate impacts are being felt across the Pacific, we are likely to feel the consequences here through colder and harsher autumn and winter in the months ahead.

This is not just about the weather. Changing climate patterns will have serious long-term impacts on farming and food security. Warmer and more unstable seasons affect crop yields and growing conditions, all against the backdrop of food inflation already reaching historic highs due to the war in Iran.

The Government must come to Parliament next week and set out clearly how it is preparing for the impact on farmers, our food supply chain and households."
