Tea-growing areas to be badly hit if global heating intensifies Fiona Harvey Environment correspondent © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Thomas Mukoya/Reuters Your morning cup of tea may never taste the same again if global heating increases and the climate crisis intensifies, according to research.

‘We’re not taught to speak out’: Asian Americans find their voice amid rise in hate Lauren Aratani © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Damian Dovarganes/AP Natty Jumreornvong was outside Mount Sinai hospital on the Upper East Side of New York around 11am one morning in February when a man approached her. “Chinese virus,” he spat out.

The incident was just the latest and most severe case of anti-Asian hate Jumreornvong has seen over the last year. Last April, a woman with a child spat on her and called her racial slurs. Patients have called her “Kung Flu”, and she’s seen Asian patients with bruises who say someone came and hit them but would not say who, potentially out of shame.
