that’ll make for a tough Christmas. “What’ll it be this year kids, presents, or roasties??”
What happened to all those Brexiteers insisting we didn’t need to worry about food security because “we can import it all anyway”?
I wonder how the Republic of Ireland would respond if we tried to import potatoes from them 🤔
Can’t wait till we stop capitulating to archaic ways of farming where these droughts threaten the entire nation. More hydroponics like Thanet earth can literally not come soon enough it seems
Carrots are cheap, dead cheap. Like as many as you can hold for 15p. I wonder how many people are counting on that who have a low budget…
Super cool that we had forty years of warnings and still chose to do this.

We had Pestilence, we have War, the next one will be Famine.
Then I had to read from some moron yesterday that the UK is the best country to live in coz we wont be affected by climate change as other places will…ok…
The good news never stops coming.
Don’t worry about the vegetables because we’ll all be dead from poverty, thirst and monkey pox anyway.
Anyone else wishing they could go back to 2020 were all we had to worry about was a global pandemic.
Upside is fewer people would be required to pick those crops.
Mean while I’m sat in an office with people laughing when they hear we’ve declaring a drought with a standard blurted phrase “but we’re an island are these people for real”
I int think they realise you can’t just dump sea water onto farmland
Just remember Lizz Truss is going to “crack down” on those pesky solar farms though. So they’ll be more room for failed crops in the future.
Every day I become more convinced we have entered the end times.
This eliminates the problem of not having anyone to pick up the vegs and drivers delivering them to end customers.
If it’s that bad here, France and Spain are going to have a terrible time. I’m lucky to live in NW England where the local produce should be OK.
Clarkson tweeted last night he was prevented from harvesting because of fire risk…
Great.
And I fully expect, that a few weeks past it being too late to rescue any crops, the rain will come.
And the rain will shit down on us like a tsunami, giving us widespread flooding.
And the tories will do….
Not that this headline will convince the Facebook comments section. They ehtiehr think that climate change is still nonsense or that the sun isn’t even that bad, despite breaking records.
Good thing we ignored those Extinction Rebellion fuckers.
Obstructing SUVs and making a handful of people late for work. Stupid.
This outcome here is much more preferable than anyone being incovenienced on their commute.
Amazing. The good news is unrelenting at the moment. So excited for the future
Good job we’re part of a large trading block which would give us some shared food security.. oh wait…
Good thing half the Tory party are pocketing hundreds of thousands of pounds from fossil fuel companies and the other half just plain don’t believe in climate change at all.
I don’t think we can survive another decade of Tory rule.
Oop, another failure for the tories and their privatised water that they refused to nationalise.
We’re going to see a lot worse by the time winter rolls around with the current predictions of it being as bad a winter as 2010.
Just wait though, wait for the tories to blame literally everyone else, and wait for their voters to lap it up, blindly following what they say.

I hope you’re all ready for [the 4.5x increase in crop failures over this decade, and the 25x increase in crop failures anticipated to occur by 2050 (27.5 years away)](https://www.woodwellclimate.org/climate-change-food-security-crop-failures/).

Incoming [Great Potatoe famine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)) GB version, good that we are in a close union with 27 other western allies. Oh, wait…..

This is all fucking ridiculous now.
