“The cruelest thing about the hunger now forecast is that it is forecast. Every famine that follows an El Niño is a disaster the world watched coming for a year and chose not to proactively respond to.”
Yeah, politics and greed.
Just in time for the fertilizer shortage.
It works out, farmers in the zone could just skip planting, save on fertilizer. ☠️

This is scary :(
Hmmm I’m thinking of stocking up… rising food costs are going to be insane.
