I warned people years ago in my Tedx talk. There will be climate-change related FAMINES in places that never knew them before.

"After the news of historic anticipated wheat failures in Kansas, farmers in Alberta, Canada, are now warning of "zero wheat production." Soil moisture is so low, crops are dying in the ground. "It’s something that we’ve never experienced before."" https://globalnews.ca/news/9761043/dry-spring-southern-albertan-farmers-zero-production/

Extremely dry spring leaves southern Albertan farmers on the road to ‘zero production’

With little to no precipitation since mid April in areas south of Calgary,  some farmers are already predicting crop losses.

@keetchey @JohnShirley2023 1/ I’m wondering how well being a climate-change denier is gonna work out for the UCP when the agricultural sector starts to collapse due to it. Farmers aren’t dumb.

The NDP lost the popular vote by a margin of ~150k last month. While mining/oil makes up 2-.83%GDP, vs agriculture’s 1.89, the actual number of voters in each sector is approx 2.5 million.

All the NDP has to do is pick up an extra 6% of the agro voters.

Self-interest may just do it.

@keetchey @JohnShirley2023 maybe we (in eu and elsewhere) can agree on ending subsidies for industrial meat production. So many valuable calories get wasted there, eu alone could avoid famine for 10^8-10^9 ppl by this.
