Congressional Agricultural Committee: Protect Our Food Supply
Recent research has shown a direct link between climate change and the heat waves and droughts that we have been experiencing. Some may argue that more CO2 is better for plants, but no one doubts that extreme temperatures and droughts are devastating to the world's food supply. As food production has fallen, shortages are beginning to occur, prices are rising for food and animal feed, and world hunger is increasing. If you are concerned, then please sign this petition.
Why is this important?
I am concerned about the effect of global warming on the world's food supply. This summer, the entire state of Oklahoma was under severe to extreme drought conditions. But it wasn't just Oklahoma, 65% of the United States and much of the land on Earth where food is grown were also experiencing drought. Food shortages can pose humanitarian crises and national security concerns. The Agricultural Committee must act protect our food supplies.
