About this episode

The episode discusses the significant threats to food, air, and water due to climate change and economic pressures.

While global organizations project minimal losses, the actual data suggests a staggering decline in crop yields of up to 36% in some grains. Extreme weather patterns, including heat domes and catastrophic floods and lack of fertilizer are decimating our breadbaskets, while the cost of essential inputs like diesel and vegetable oils continues to climb. This "triple whammy" of climate, supply chain, and economic pressure is coming to a head all at once, affecting everything from your grocery bill to the air you breathe. 🥫 72 Hour Kit Emergency Food Kit https://rebrand.ly/foodsupply 🌿 True Leaf Market Heirloom Seeds https://rebrand.ly/seedcollection ☕️ Support Independent Journalism Buy Us A Double Espresso https://buymeacoffee.com/civilizationcycle 🔎 SIGN-UP for the Weekly Show Notes https://civilizationcycle.com/
