| Just musing. Lately with the radical weather patterns setting in bringing unusual amounts of moisture in the form of not only snow but rainfall, or on the other hand, drought--and on yet another hand wild temperature patterns, this will surely be affecting the planting/growing/harvesting of food crops. Might we be heading for a period of food scarcity? |

I believe we are. Higher prices too. Its worldwide. Some links to check. Read farmers posts on these sites to get an idea of what they are dealing with. https://www.agweb.com/crops/ https://www.agprofessional.com/article/climate- change-lower-productivity-major-crops-livestock https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/92851/early- warnings-for-crop-failures |

Thanks Teresa for posting your sources - The NASA one caught my eye This part of the cause of so many migrants heading northwards... "The map above shows NDVI anomalies in Central America and the Caribbean. A severe drought spread across southern Mexico to Panama. In July, affected areas in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras experienced maize and bean losses from 75 to 100 percent. The Crop Monitor has largely classified maize conditions in Guatemala and Honduras as “failure” while yields in Haiti and El Salvador have mainly been classified as “poor.” “NDVI is an important tool for monitoring crop conditions for food security,” said Justice. “Any changes in precipitation and temperature will have an effect on vegetative greenness.”: |

| No, Nasirah I don't watch or recommend those - or haven't you noticed? Probably not since you are basically a troll here trying to get in good with the regulars. |
