Global Drought Crisis Set to Threaten Food Security and Fuel price Surges

Douglas McIntyre, editor-in–chief of Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that three-quarters of the world’s surface is becoming more arid, as per United Nations data. This trend, exacerbated by climate change, threatens global agriculture, shrinking the areas where crops can be grown and thus raising food prices. Countries like Somalia already face devastating consequences, and the situation is expected to deteriorate further in the coming decades if no action is taken.
