What keeps you up at night?
That’s the question economist Gary Yohe, one of the architects behind the White House’s 2014 Climate Assessment report, posed to several of his co-authors during a May 6 panel in Washington D.C. Unsurprisingly, the assembled team of climate experts and other academics had no lack of answers, ranging from the possibility of more extreme weather events to the risk of climate-induced mental health degradation. But what keeps Iowa State University climate scientist Gene Wanker up at night is what climate change could do to one of humanity’s most basic needs.
“I worry about food security, both globally and in the U.S., because social unrest happens very quickly under food insecurity,” he told the panel.
The 2014 Climate Assessment paints a grim portrait of declining crop yields, rising food prices, and disrupted supply chains. And that’s just in the United States.

MSNBC. Tell you everything right there.
Only the propaganda arsonists are MSNBC would say we had an American hunger crisis.
More like an obesity crisis within the ranks of the “poor”.
So true!
As the earth cools, we will lose the ability to raise crops and livestock.
What "hunger crisis?" Crisis my a$$. More liberal lies quoting fictional statistics to promote more wealth transfer form those who wor for it to those who whine for it.
I just solved my hunger crisis with fried eggs and sausage.
Do they mean that we might actually get under 35% of population being obese???
Somehow, I’m not very alarmed....
“What keeps you up at night?”
Well, worrying about grossly obese poor Americans toppling the government over a taco and coke shortage doesn’t make the short list.
Climate change could improve American health, too.
Don’t blame the fictions “climate change.” Blame the EPA for requiring corn for our gas tanks instead of our food supply. Big Government is to blame for every problem we have in this country.
Hunger crisis?
Like that we have forty seven million out of 310 million people on food stamps??
Like the one in the big cities, San Antonio, for instance, that everyone seems so pleased that the prickly Barkley pointed to?
That one?
Government policies and massive debt is going to do that real soon
Im nervous
Im gonna go eat a hamburger
Prior to the rise of capitalism, history was mainly a record of plagues and famines. With the rise of Eco-Socialism, it will return there. “Climate change” will have little to do with it.
Many of the ‘fresh’ fruits and veggies I buy at the grocery are seasonally imported. Just in the last few years, watermelons and cantaloupes and similar formerly seasonal items are now available all year.

One local radio station runs a lot of ‘American kids are starving’ commercials. With the number of food banks and easy access to EBT, there is no reason that any are starving, unless they are being neglected by their parents/care takers.

It becomes more and more difficult to determine truth from fiction.
Even the media just make stuff up any more.
There is so much misinformation and lies that one almost had to depend on their own instincts.
Hunger crisis?!?! I thought we had an obesity crisis...
The only hunger crisis is caused by rising prices.
