The reality in America is that Big Money runs the legislative process.
The horrific warning of the end of life on the planet as we know it comes from paleoceanographers, who examine cores of sediment from some 56 million years ago.
“Ironically, the two countries that are planning to build most of the new coal-fired power plants, China and India, are precisely the ones whose food security is most massively threatened by the carbon emitted from burning coal.”
Long-term food trends are worrisome, especially for soybeans. In 1995 China produced the same amount of soybeans it consumed, but since then production has stayed the same and consumption has jumped fivefold.
Record-setting summer heat scorched peanut fields, stressed cotton plants and stunted citrus fruit.
Already under stress from pollution and warming, the ocean ecosystem now faces a severe threat due to the rise in ocean acidity. The ocean no longer can absorb the excess carbon dioxide we have dumped and continue to dump into the atmosphere.

Global warming and deforestation reduce rainfall and lengthen the dry season. It becomes more difficult for the forest to re-establish and exceptional droughts are occurring more frequently.
