i consider myself lucky - got my own home, transportation, a small farm, a fallout shelter, firearms, a 100 KL underground water tank. If I stop working today, I can eat four different meals for the rest of my life.

Humans are reactive and rarely proactive. Just like the boiling frog analogy, we only respond to immediate visible threats. Just look at how some countries handled this pandemic, despite warnings from intelligence and health officials. We like all the tech and advances that science brings us, but not the bigger questions it asks or the facts that challenge our ideologies, beliefs, or economic models.

giving fish to a hungry man, he will have a meal for a day, teach the man how to fish, he will have food for life

Heat has been empirically shown to increase human aggression and violent behaviour. And, to clarify, it is not the environment that causes worsening crises and diminished security, it is the economy. The climate is the effect, the economy is the cause. It is pathological to damage something, and then blame the thing for the secondary impacts of that damage.

It will be good to include Reports relative to the Presentation with the Presentation if Possible. TY.
The World is likely to see a Global reduction in Wheat supply of 30% due to Ukraine Planting about 50% of Normal, Sanctions on Russian: Energy, Food, Fertilizer and severe Drought in India. It is a good idea to encourage Citizens to grow as much Food as possible now. I am planting Potatoes and a large Vegetable Garden in the Front Lawn of my Home. While this in itself is an insignificant amount of food for the World at Large, the effect may be considerable by Northern Hemisphere Harvest Time, if millions to hundreds of millions of People start do this now. It is likely, the Three Pounds of Seed Potato I plant now, may be one hundred to two hundred Pounds of Potatoes by October. Hopefully Global Institutions and Governments concerned with Food Issues will immediately begin to promote this now.

Yes, with drought caused famine, one would allso see an increase in violence as survivors fight for remaining resources. A better way would be dividing resources more equally and really slowing down new births with an obvious start being reversing all the bans on abortion in the US and have the US include free birth control and abortion services in aid packages to poorer countries.

As in violence and famiine are two of the worst ways to solve the problem of too many people and too few resources.

What is the news from God? No government has ever succeeded in eliminating violence, disease, or death. But there is good news. Shortly, God will replace all human governments with his own government. Its subjects will enjoy peace and good health. —Read Isaiah 25:8; 33:24; Daniel 2:44. God wants people to enjoy life on earth. He created the earth and everything on it because he loves mankind. Soon he will act to provide a better future for people in every land. He will relieve mankind of the causes of suffering. —Read Jeremiah 29:11.
