Honolulu Civil Beat 
Reporter Thomas Heaton sat down with University of Hawaii professor Susan E. Crow and banana-grower Gabe Sachter-Smith to discuss the future of agriculture in Hawai’i in the Era of Climate Change.
This community event took place Oct. 25 and was supported in part by grants from the Ulupono Fund at the Hawaii Community Foundation, the Healy Foundation, the Marisla Fund of the Hawaii Community Foundation, the Frost Family Foundation, the Cooke Foundation, the Atherton Family Foundation and Papa Ola Lokahi.
Presented by the Hawaiʻi Institute for Sustainable Community Food Systems at University of Hawaiʻi – West Oʻahu, Honolulu Civil Beat and UH Better Tomorrow Speaker Series, this series is meant to generate key opportunities for community dialogue among a diverse audience, aiming to achieve a healthy, equitable, resilient and sustainable food system for Hawaiʻi.

About The Author
Sun causes climate change, not humans. Go get deprogrammed. Utter government waste of taxpayer money. If you go back 800,000 years the chart says it's getting warmer and carbon increasing. But go back 8 million years, and we are at the lowest carbon content ever. If it drops down farther, there won't be sufficient carbon for photosynthesis. The plants die the animals die, the people die. But carbon taxes let government steal our $. Taxation is theft. The guy in charge of safeguarding bananas seems suited to that job. The Lady professor is a communist. Clearly, her entire perception of the universe is wrong, & she must go back to square one & start over.
Mahalo Civil Beat for this discussion.
You guys gotta look far upwind to check what had happened to the weather systems which flow from Africa, across the Atlantic, over the Ismuth then over to sunny Hawaii. You are all under the same sky, so . . . . . well read the stuff below.
REDUCTION IN THE FREQUENCY OF THE KEREMT AND AFRICAN EASTERLY WAVE (AEW) WEATHER SYSTEMS.
This degredation of one of the planets largest weather systems is 100% the biggest challenge ot Africa. Go back to pre 1900, July to October. For millions of years in those months the Lower Nile in Egypt would flood it's banks to create a 26,000 km2 shallow lake in the sahara desert. That lake evaporated more than 4,000 m3/s (13.5mm per day), to create an atmospheric river which every few days would disrupt the easterly monsoon over the Ethiopian Highlands. The resultant 'keremt' storm would then be blown west by the trade winds to form the massive AEWs which determined the length of the rainy season across the whole of the sub saharan region.
Restrict then cancell the flood thru dam construction at Aswan (1902 -1964), restricts then cancells many of the last kermet/AEWs of the year, so the rainy season becomes shorter and all plant species have to migrate south to latitudes compatible with their resistence time. The Sahara suddenly begine to grow – specifically from the start of the last century, then again from the mid 1960s. Forget all the BS pouring out of the WMO and IPCC – you have waaaaay bigger problems than the rubbish pontificated by 2nd rate UN officials in Geneva.
