The 2023 European cereal harvest is set to be its lowest since 2007 – at 256 million tonnes, some 9.5% lower than the five-year average of 283 million tonnes, European farming organization Copa Cogeca said this week.

Harvests in Portugal, Spain and Italy, where temperatures have regularly topped 40°C in July, are expected to be hardest hit by the heatwave.

youtube.com/watch?v=dcYMH35Hqo

For decades, Americans have been moving south and west.
Galen speaks with author Jake Bittle, who argues that it’s only a matter of time before those trends reverse, or at least shift.

It will be a worsening climate that pushes them away.

But much of the danger millions of Americans find themselves is of our own making. We want to live at water’s or forest’s edge; now the day of reckoning is coming ”for a society that has attempted to tame the forces of nature,” Bittle writes.

"The tally marks a rare federal effort to assess the uprooting caused by the emergency. The Census Bureau estimate far exceeds other counts of U.S. evacuees, suggesting that previous data and reporting on internally displaced persons underestimate this ongoing crisis."
