Death Knell

This is a truly frightening video.  NASA has modeled rainfall projections and it’s very clear – if it weren’t already – that food shortages from drought are going to lead to famine and violence.  Since many staple crops are distributed through global trade, the effects will ricochet around the world leaving aid-dependant countries wanting, and prices soaring in developed nations, with the poorest starving first.  I’m reasonably certain that NASA’s models don’t include the fact that trees are dying prematurely, at an exponentially rapid rate, from tropospheric ozone – which is going to vastly exacerbate the disruption of the hydrological cycle and hasten their predictions, all by itself…never mind the wildfires that have already begun this spring in the US that add to the pollution.
