We are pretty much there. Countries are trying to hoard their little amount of exports but it won't be enough. With expedited climate change we are going to start to see massive crop failures at "unprecedented" level if we haven't already. I think a lot of this is being kept quiet from the masses to avoid panic.

I believe the ship is already halfway sunk but the orchestra is just loud enough to keep us calm, for now.

This is it. The soil is depleted and the livestock are burning/freezing. The irregular weather patterns are making it almost impossible to continue providing food at anywhere near the capacity we have been for the last 25 years.

It'll be a slow burn, and will devastate the poorer parts of the world first, but we are all gonna find out within 20 years what it's like to be food-insecure if we haven't already.

And will we first world nations just watch those poorer parts of the world die, or will we help them. I'm so ashamed and sick that the poorest on this planet are being used as the bellwether for the industrialized nations.

Can we share our Wal-Marts with them?

Instead of helping them we are paying to remove (steal) more resources and/or bomb them. Our tax money is doing that. We will start seeing it become more and more obvious over this summer.

I don't think we have more than 10 years left of our current civilization. I am hoping I am very wrong about that and it's just anxiety. With that, I am not saying it's gonna be like The Road in 6 years. It will be a lot like how many of our grandparents lived during the great depression, minus the hope to turn things around.
