Global warming is the weather on steroids. We know a good biker wins a few races. On steroids he may even over achieves, and some of his events are extreme examples.
Trapped and growing heat in the atmosphere causes weather patterns to perform in extreme ways too. All over the world the temperatures are setting high records 10 to 1 over lows. Storms, and droughts are more severe, doing more damage, killing more food crops. In the last month the UN reports food prices around the globe jumped on average 10%.
In the US most grain farmers have crop insurance, this years failures will bring 10 to 12 billion $ in payments, only 4 billion of that are the responsibility of insurance companies, the US taxpayers (not millionaires) will pay the rest. Crop insurance is one of those deals corporations love, they handle it, take the profit, but someone else takes most the risk.
Conserve a little fuel, energy or water. You'll have more money in your pocket at the end of the month.
Glad yer bak.
