💧 #ClimateChange
The United Kingdom is facing dire food shortages, forcing prices to skyrocket, and experts predict this is only the beginning.
What's happening?
According to a report by The Guardian, extreme weather is wreaking havoc on crops across the region. England experienced more rainfall during the past 18 months than it has over any 18-month period since record-keeping began in 1836.

@evamarie it's the beginning of the future. Let's hope they can undo Brexit. Brexit seems to be a
Successful outsider campaign but that's just an outsiders view.
How are you? Spring bringing the blooms?
Yes, I’d like to undo the 2000 election (think of where we’d be on climate change had Gore been elected) and Brexit. That’s the timeline I’d like to live in 😁
Doing well, thanks! Loving Sunday and a day of lazy cooking and reading.
@evamarie I have to grab a few z's before breaking our fast. Hoping to excavate 12s bedroom...aka spring clean so kind of hoping for rain lol.
Enjoy your day💛
Happy excavating 🌸

So, while parts of the American West and Southwest are in a desperate drought, England is drowning in rain which has ruined crops. Climate change is destabilizing the world.
I’m sure the Brexit folks don’t want to hear this but had they stayed, they could have had access to the entire EU food supply to keep food prices more steady.
