'When you just blame everything on climate change then you take all the agency away from local decision-makers to actually deal with the disasters,” one of the researchers said.
Poverty is particularly severe in the country’s south, which researchers say makes it even more challenging for local communities, who are dependent on rain-fed crops, to cope with extended periods of drought.Mark Howden, a climate expert at the Australian National University who was not involved in the new research, agreed with the collective’s conclusion that famines shouldn’t be seen “solely or even primarily a function of climate or related factors.
However, he said the “biggest issue” with the study is that it only deals with rainfall, adding that factors “such as temperature and potential evaporation” also need to be considered when studying droughts. “A particular influence in the Madagascar situation over the past years relates to temperature and wind fields across the Indian Ocean and downwards to the Southern Ocean, and arguably the latter has a climate change signal,” he said.
