a numerous stories about how climate change will make certain foods extinct
princess biggest worry about how big and might be extinct because of change
uh... and they'll be fine appears in the fight without the bacon
uh... and then we did a story about coffee coffee and that's when i think
that's a bit of uh...
alright suffered quite a sight i like it because that i'm that climate scientists
are now trying to find ways to appeal to you
the average american the average american that may be typically wasn't
interesting climate science to begin with
uh... but i'd just recently read this article on the daily beast and newsweek
about how our climate change commute
release of the elite impact something known as durum wheat
now of course that will impact week he reentered durum wheat is a very specific
type of wheat it's high in protein um... and uh... it's it's a very particularly
nutritionists
hardier wheat
and uh... it's it has to be grown in a very specific
climates so it needs to be
a cooler climb and it has to be relatively dry you can't have much
rainfall so they're very specific areas in north dakota
went into her own business is booming right because they have the right
uh... there not a careful or to write exactly so that my temperature for that
uh... unfortunately because i have what we're doing to the planet
temperature has been rising significantly
and sounded farmers are realizing they're having a more difficult time
finding the right area to grow the durum wheat which intern makes the food prices
go up
to add insult to injury in north dakota
uh... all the site in uh...
frackie has become very popular there may be found that that's a great
area for natural gas so more frightening is happening
and what they're doing is as you guys already you know uh... when it comes to
packing they'll take fresh water
which by the way what's a cup of parts of the country right now are facing
drought
so to take i'd huge amount of fresh water
pulpit into the ground i'll see you can make that natural gas rise up and the
way you do about watergate dot tainted water goes into a power computer pod
which then could leak into the fresh water supply
and that's not good for health as you guys can imagine
uh... but it's also causing damage tied to the environment is causing damage to
durum wheat in north dakota and it just goes to show you that pretty soon i'm
we're gonna have a discussion about pas to be extinct and it sounds ridiculous
all week is what's used for pasta so plan to find answers china raise more
awareness about that uh... anya
i don't know if this will really strike a chord with people but i hope it does a
specially when you consider that
you know this is are very very important part of our food supply
and it's being destroyed because of the way we're living
the amount of drilling we're doing yeah i think that the the most depressing
thing about the first
i'd say fifteen to twenty years of the battle to try to get the publicly
interested in in climate change in the effects of global warming
is that for most people they don't think about the effect of the weather outside
of how impressed with the where day today
because look to be fair people are bahot miss sarah biologists at meteorologists
don't think about this stuff
uh... and i think that that cindy and another extreme weather if it has any
sort of silver
lighting for the major huge
frank and clouds of the developing
is that it puts it leaves the prospective jurors environmental damage
will global for me to do
he made his most recent articles were bacon a coffee in that we could do the
same thing because people don't understand that if the wet at the
temperature goes up two or four degrees celsius but does it mean that you just
turn the dial may see a little bit without we're not air conditioning
fields of wheat yet although it might have to let me give you a specific
example of this is our again from the daily piece in newsweek already and
you're one degree fahrenheit of global temperature rise over the past fifty
years has caused a five point five percent decline in reproduction
according to david low about a professor at stanford university center on food
security and invited so that's a very specific sample for you right there
and so it's having these huge ramifications on our environment
on our food supply
and reading the story that's
you know scientifically back
ait i can't help but get so furious at the fact that
we've heard numerous stories on the stupid so-called apocalypse
and and and how the world's gonna come to an end a twenty twelve like people
panicking about it
the doomsday properties that are like
you know and building their underground bunkers and storing food
it's behind that time you how do you think smart guys
well it's been really are actually facing some world changing devastation
but we have at least it
maybe a couple of years maybe couple decades do something about it
dot biz december
nobody had depressing and so i i remember i i read actually uh... fairly
recently dresses that i think it was a guardian talked about a report that
uh... four degrees centigrade and
the change in temperature globally
pickup price
uh... production by thirty percent
yet that impacts parts of the world ido in the middle america that he writes a
lot off in a rigorous ready or something like that but that matters like what
exactly rolling we does it is
runcorn thinks the subsidies of policy twelve nations the further we actually
eat we don't have enough of it as it is we can afford to lose five point five
percent let alone thirty percent yeah ann and i can't emphasize enough you
know you're already seen the impact right now you go to the grocery store
and you see how expensive your groceries are
that is it a coincidence it is a mistake
it's happening as a result of climate change
and the fact that we still have people in this country
h out completely deny that it's happening over
except it's happening but the nine minutes man-made hitches boggles my mind
i don't know how much more evidence you could possibly need and i think part of
the reason why people don't want accepted
is because some people just don't want to change their lifestyle yes there
there is you know the coal industry
uh... there's big oil and of course they have their interest to protect but at
the same time their people out there who would rather believe the pseudo
scientist that are saying that it's not man-made because they don't mind change
their lifestyle since it is easier
