"In April, David Muir of ABC News broadcast a special report from South Sudan, which featured the efforts of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to stave off famine in the country’s northern provinces.

What caught my ear was Muir’s claim that South Sudan is the “new front line of the climate crisis.” Muir was echoing the WFP’s narrative. “Unprecedented flooding” has displaced tens of thousands of people. The flooding has interfered with agriculture and has disrupted the timely delivery of food, goods, and services that could otherwise prevent starvation. Nearly eight million people are said to be at risk...

That’s easy to check. 

• Unprecedented flooding requires unprecedented rainfalls. 

Below is a chart of South Sudan’s mean annual rainfall (MAR) from 1901 to 2021, the latest year for which data are available from the World Bank:

• ...What, then, is the nature of food shortages in South Sudan?

Some context is in order...Country-wide, cereal crop yields are up by 12–16% over last year, however. Widespread crop failure is therefore not the problem for South Sudan. 

What, then, is the problem?...

• It is not the “climate crisis” that is hindering their efforts, but a perfect storm of political disruptions, corruption, graft, and piracy...
