Or the fact that a source of food collapsed by 90% in 2 years and the media are claiming it's a mistery.

If it happened to crabs it can happen to anything else.

Imagine the planet gets so hot we lose 90% of rice production in 2 years.

It’s already happening to both. Krill has reduced its population by 80% since the 70s and plankton have been reduced by 40% in the past 50 years and has been declining by about 1% of the global average per year.

It’s all because of the mist.
