climate change could alter the food on your plate
One very good example would be the vilalge of Kivalina in Alaska. They have to re-locate the entire vilalge because there ground is melting. They are trying to sue oil companies for global warming in order to come up with the $400 Million needed to move the vilalge of 400 people. (I don’t know how it cost $1 Million per person).Another example could be the southwest and the severe water and energy shortage that may be just a few years away. Lake Mead is drying up and the water level may soon be too low to produce elecricity at Hoover Dam. (You can google for that, there are lots of stories about it. The study that concluded that climate change is contributing was performed by Scripps Institute of Oceanography in San Diego.)
