Warm already and it is only a few minutes after 9a.m. here. I checked the plants and will water tomorrow.
The news has reported for the last week Moscow's suspension of the "grain deal" that ensured Ukrainian grain could be shipped out via the Black Sea. A lot of hand wringing over the possible food shortages especially in Africa and the Middle East. However, with the continuing heat wave in Europe they are expecting a deep reduction in grain harvests this fall.
Dave Pollard wrote a post that encapsulates things I have been thinking for some time. Big problems require concerted action which requires that people agree on what needs to be done. If the problems are global that kind of cooperation has to exist on a global scale. Such an agreement hasn't existed, doesn't exist, and won't in the future. For all the reasons Pollard noted. Other writers I read regularly noted the difference between "problems" and "predicaments." Problems have solutions; predicaments don't. Climate change is a predicament to which we have to adapt.
