Heat 'sucking soils dry' as extreme drought hits Europe
Major climate impacts on crops in North America and Europe. Major shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and now, potentially, the Red Sea. Transit through the Panama Canal threatened by drought. It's time we started getting serious about #FoodSecurity.

Peggy Sanders5The Panama Canal announced the temporary suspension of transit reservations starting July 25 due to anticipated low water levels in Gatun Lake. The measure will affect daily auctions for the third period for Panamax locks and will remain in…. www.dataportuaria.com/en/Panama/fo...
Death will not release you!𓅽4Red Sea isn't potential, after the last one a few years ago, shipping volume never fully recovered, if the alternative isn't much worse (extra distance and time, but no tolls), they avoid it now.

Time is Sliding2A start would be getting @andyburnham.bsky.social to get the national media to show the National Emergency Briefing at prime times every month until its message, including food security & diet, is taken seriously.
Keith M. Judge1I don't believe in global trade on principle, however certain logistical realities with genocidal implications that dwarf the Holocaust by several orders of magnitude have led me to support it until we can all form a global web of interlinking democratic collectives. 🙄
As long expected. It’s climate science 101. The vapor thirst of the atmosphere increases exponentially with temperature. A law of physics known since the early 19th C (Clausius–Clapeyron law). It causes more drought even if rainfall doesn’t decline. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Oliver Nickel | DE2In hwißen Sommer lässt sich dieses Phänomen gut beobachten, wenn in den frühen Morgenstunden die Sonne über taunassen Feldern aufgeht. Anstatt dass sich Nebelschwaden bilden, nimmt die Luft die Feuchtigkeit auf – zurück bleibt nur Trockenheit.
Why looking after our soils is also so important, the more we can preserve or enhance soil quality through land management, the more it can retain nutrients and moisture
I made a programme five years ago that included #wildfire experts saying that Ireland was going to need to start thinking more like a Mediterranean country. There was a good deal of sniggering. We might owe them an apology. #Speirgorm #Climate Listen: 👉 www.rte.ie/radio/podcas...
Ken3Who's sniggering now? (No one.)
Derek Brauders3Maybe we (and collective governments) need to be doing, not just thinking. Water supply, Inc desalination, leak control (38% at the moment?), renewable energy, the lot.
Kieran Ryan2Have you seen Roz Purcell's posts from her home in Slievenamon?
Derek Brauders2Oh and I should have said yes, we do owe an apology.
Siobhán M4Did ya see* the animated BFG cartoon where they use helicopters to transfer the giants? Reminds me of that *i sm guessing not . Del Boy voiced the BFG.
