Yes, burying reports like this is bullshit, but you know what is also bullshit? About a third of ALL food goes to waste. According to @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu almost 60 million tons of food is thrown out every year in Europe alone.
- so when we say that food scarcity will be a security problem, it's laden with a massive helping of colonialism, i.e. We The Rich™️ have plenty of food, but the people who can't afford it might get desperate enough to become a threat...

Our political class generally, and the current Govt. in particular, often depict actions to respond to climate change as too expensive & detrimental to growth (and by extension out economic wellbeing);
so its no surprise that when specialised agencies conclude that actually *not* responding to climate change is more costly, and that climate change itself is endangering our security, such reports are buried (until someone finds them, that is).
