It is a frightening forecast for earth.
I would not miss it, even for Thunder over Louisville,
which is a yearly awesome event before the
Kentucky Derby.

Well it looks like congress needs to mandate and subsidize another 10% of ethanol. That should fix everything including Manlied GoreBull Warming. The bastardization of food when there is oil available here at home is wrong.

I think you just hit on a very real and potentially looming issue here. There has been a great deal of attention and reporting on the "climate crisis" and it's effects like sea level rise and changes to weather patterns. However, most reporting seems to stop there.

But what happens when those changes to weather patterns actually occur? What are going to be the cause-effect chain reaction to the worlds food supply as the current food producing areas of the world are no longer able to sustain crops?

I agree with Haiti's director of the World Food Program, "It will be a disater." And unfortunatly, I feel what we are seeing in Haiti now is only the begining.

Something fishy has been going on with the Farm Bill which is coming up this week. A small percentage of American farmers receive a large amount of government support while many others receive little or nothing.
Some are given supports not to plant. A recipe for hunger in the U.S.

Check it out with Dave Beckman/Bill Moyers

Please let me know how to access the Free Rice game featured tonight (April 14, 2008) in which my grand- children could help themselves to abetter vocabulary as well (and even more important) help to feed so many other children around the world. Thank you for letting one concerned father help all of us to do a little better.

Everyday I see increasing problems in our food chain. Tonight in the USA it was scarcity of salmon & safety of greens and starving children getting rice from a our children playing a computer game. We are seeing increased prices due to rising gasoline cost and more farmland being used for alternative fuels. We are finally acknowledging the reality of global warming. Yet, we are also seeing increasing population as a result of focus on eradicating diseases and no focus on birth control. Must we bring more children into this world for foster care and starvation?
