I’m no expert on the subject but I read what experts say regarding climate change. The global warming aspect of climate change is causing bizarre weather events around the world, the planet is progressively getting warmer but that doesn’t mean it will be warmer everywhere. Look at the bizarre weather last year where much of the US, Europe and China suffered severe crop losses from drought. Some US farmland dried out so badly that the ground cracked. So the soil ecosystem was badly damaged if not killed off making that land not useful for farming. around that time 1/3rd of Pakistan was underwater. An area the size of Texas or France since they are roughly equivalent flooded in Pakistan, this was caused by severe weather and glaciers melting due to climate change.

Dumb people will say big deal if it gets a little hotter I’ll just turn on the air conditioning not understanding that plants and animals do not cope with this kind of weather. They don’t understand that global crop losses means food is more expensive today and 20-30 years from now just getting food is going to be a problem. Dumb people will say what global warming means will be able to farm areas we couldn’t before. Areas that are currently farmed probably aren’t suitable for farming without massive amounts of fertilizer, irrigation or both and much of the US is running out of water. I’m not someone who just talks about this either, I’ve taken steps to be food secure in the future.
