Earth’s Soil Drying Up, Damage May Be Permanent

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights a Washington Post report showing that Earth’s land is losing water at an alarming rate, with potentially irreversible effects. This crisis threatens global agriculture, making it harder to grow food and raise livestock. Additionally, as soil loses water, more flows into the oceans, worsening sea level rise. Scientists warn that within the next few decades, severe droughts could spread globally, creating food shortages and uninhabitable regions.
