    Global food production at risk as rising temperatures threaten farmers’ physical ability to work

    “Assessments consistently conclude that climate change will reduce crop yields making food security challenges worse”, says study lead Professor Gerald Nelson, of the University of Illinois.

    “But it’s not only crops and livestock that are affected. The agricultural workers who plant, till, and harvest much of the food we need will also suffer due to heat exposure, reducing their ability to undertake work in the field.”

    I dislike Jobs based on what I know of how he behaved as a man and a leader. However, he did a great job leading Apple. I greatly respect Buffett. However, Buffett would favor buying back stock because Buffett isn't the kind of guy to get hands-on building the structure of a company

    If you want to talk about food disruptions, look no further than government, which puts enormous bogus carbon taxes on the economy as a whole, then forces farmers to reduce fertilizer use, doubles the cost of fuel, lets shoplifters run rampant, and then blocks and disrupts shipping with bogus medical mandates. It's got nothing at all to do with the weather.

    I've been meaning to do that for years, for unrelated reasons. But fuck that's a lot of work.

    We were really poor going up, so my mom had the entire backyard a garden and she would grow everything and then pickle a bunch of food for the winter times.

    I recommend getting a garden, start out small, and expand a bit as you have time or feel like it. Food taste so much better too.

    You can grow anything right in your house. Tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, radishes, carrots, you name it. You don't need much light for most vegetables, just the proper seeds and soil and care.

    My house had a garden in the back but its overgrown now and I don't really trust the soil either.

    I would like a small raised bed garden. But will I ever actually build and maintain one?

    I hope so.

    unable to work due to being too hot, farmers neglect to cull their corn this year, causing an over supply of corn in the market, and crashing prices.
