In the spring, Trump cut $500 million from aid to food banks.
But they had already ordered 94 million pounds of food from the program — all abruptly canceled.
People at food banks noticed. The cuts meant less meat and lighter pickups.

New projections for farm productivity also suggest that growing food will become difficult across large parts of the country, including the heart of the High Plains’ $35 billion agriculture industry. “
Now just 15 years away…
In 2020, we mapped out the danger zones that will close in on Americans over the next 30 years — combining climate data with wildfire projections by US Forest Service researchers and others.

“Staggering” Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat
A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.

In fact, the surface of California’s Central Valley is nearly 30 vertical feet lower than it was a century ago.
Why is this happening? Because our planet is rapidly drying. THREAD/
