    Lmao, we’re just a bit more fucked than that.

    Global fresh water demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030 and 90% of the earths topsoil is at risk of depletion by 2050.

    Resource depletion is going to hit hard in the next few decades, billions of people will die.

      Trans bathroom policies and drag queens cause widespread agricultural failure.

    Maybe, maybe not but what we do is know for sure is that this shill op is to justify inflation and a lot of price gouging

    Remember when we were running out of oil and had bunch of wars over oil… Many People made wife changing money on that shill op too

      Yes but remember climate is not the only factor in food inflation. This estimated 1.1% would be on top of other factors.

      E: oops, missed out ‘not’

Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
