Wits University scientists have debunked two
big myths around climate change by proving firstly, that despite
predictions, tropical storms are not increasing in number. However, they
are shifting, and South Africa could be at increased risk of being
directly impacted by tropical cyclones within the next 40 years.
Secondly, while global warming is causing frost to be less severe, late
season frost is not receding as quickly as flowering is advancing,
resulting in increased frost risk which will likely begin to threaten
food security.
