Climate News, an online source for climatological news and analysis, recently consulted Climate Hazards Group's Chris Funk regarding his recent article with Park Williams in Climate Dynamics. The article, "Droughts to Worsen in East Africa, With Implications for U.S. Food Aid" by Katherine Bagley concentrates on the implications of Funk and William's paper "A Westward Extension of the Warm Pool Intensifies the Walker Circulation, Drying Eastern Africa" as they relate to African access to food and how the paper's findings contradict the 2007 IPCC Report.
