By 2022, large parts of Asia can expect increased risk of more severe droughts, which will impact regional and/or global food security.

phys.org/news/2012-09-f…
Major risk of simultaneous breadbasket failures due to climatic extremes:

"Climatic connections between global phenomena such as the El Niño...and regional climate extremes such as Indian heatwaves, or flood risks... pose a risk to the global food system" phys.org/news/2019-12-c…
⚠️ Newly identified jet-stream pattern set to imperil global food supplies.

🔺threat to global food production will worsen with global warming.

Global crop failure from the 2020s onwards:

'Yield responses to biophysical stresses are highly non-linear – once critical thresholds for temperature or water are breached, plants suffer severe damage and yields can fall precipitously.' ⚠️

reports.weforum.org/global-risks-2…
'Simultaneous harvest failures in key regions would bring global famine...'

🔺Climate models & recent peer-reviewed ecosystem science (including the state of soils, groundwater, vanishing summer Arctic sea ice, etc) suggest this may well occur by 2029. ⚠️

It was ice knowing you. 💔
Worse than expected:
"We're underestimating the impact of the ice sheets on the climate system.."

The accelerating disappearance of Antarctic ice will have a major — and underestimated — effect on extreme weather.

#COP justice veterans: we've never seen such failure before. 🚨⚰️💔

@BBCNews: agreement through compromise wins the day. 🎉👍😎

"Black people from the global South heartbroken that rich countries are literally signing their death warrants by the lack of action at the...talks. This bloody white supremacy, colonialism & imperialism is the toxic poison that says our lives don’t matter"
"Even according to its own very weak agenda, #COP25 has failed

Failed to reflect far greater ambition, failed to formalise and increase loss and damage funding..."

Did you know?

1. Global crop failures hit at 1.5- 2°C.
2. Billions die at 3°C.
3. Most humans dead at 4°C.
4. Earth uninhabitable at 6°C.
5. We're heading for 1.5°C by 2025.
6. We're heading for 2°C by 2035.
7. We're heading for 4- 6°C by 2075.

Why isn't this front page news?
People in the Global South are dying now.

We need a new economy for climate justice & survival.

2°C by 2035 (with a dire global food & water crisis) looks likely.

Feedbacks (Arctic sea ice etc) have begun.

Can we avoid 3.5°C?

See thread for details:👇
Could we prevent the deaths of billions if we manage to slow warming by slashing emissions to zero within a decade (plus other action)? Yes, perhaps.

3°C looks inevitable, but if we can push it away until the 22nd century countless lives would be saved.

I think we can all agree that food is pretty important for survival.

Climate Change is already impacting food security- it is not a distant, ambiguous concern: 

More than 1 million acres of US cropland ravaged by floods

#ClimateActionNow #foodsecurity
Cascading impacts of deadly flooding around the world includes "food supply shocks"

"A “whiplash” between very dry periods, followed by very wet periods, is exactly what we can expect from climate change"

#foodsecurity #ClimateChange #agriculture
...North America is not immune - bit.ly/2OVphL1

Already ‘There’s bleeding going on’ in U.S. farm economy, ag lender says, due in part to extreme weather

A prolonged downturn “has impacted farmers of all ages, experience levels and sizes”

This Republican control over all parts of our government defies comparison. On second thought, it feels like a Biblical punishment..Remember the 10 Plagues of Egypt?
#RepublicanPlague #CrimesAgainstHumanity #RiseUp
First, the waters of the land of Egypt were to be turned into blood....
The Clean Water Rule protected smaller bodies of water, like streams and wetlands, from discharges of all kinds of pollutants. But not anymore: #RepublicanPlague #CleanWaterAct
The EPA has delayed implementation for 2 years as the agency “clarifies” (read: eliminates)the rule.The decision is a clear gift to industrial polluters who loudly protested the reg in 2015 & GOP lawmakers who have falsely claimed the rule regulates “puddles on private property.” Large freighter ship spilled red and yellow toxic sludge into waterway. People in small boats float on the spill.
