I just saw that Brazil has had the 2nd lowest crop harvest and blame it on Climate shift.

2,000,000 acres clear cut a year for decades. In layman terms 55 miles by 55 miles for decades.
Sure, hope Brazil doesn't turn itself into the Saharan.

Do you eat avocados? Guess where those are grown?
Avocados: The green gold that wipes western Mexico’s forests from the map
In western Mexico, a forest was cleared in a couple of days. It was the early morning of a spring day in 2020. A dozen workers arrived in two trucks escorted by armed men aboard a van. Minutes after their arrival, the high-pitched shriek of chainsaws scared the birds into flight through the canopy of the trees. This was followed by the noise of the crane’s motor and the shouts of those who organized the handling of large trunks of pines, oaks and oyamel firs.
The episode wasn’t news for the inhabitants of that corner of the Sierra de Cacoma, municipality of Cuautla, Jalisco. The forests in the contiguous lands had been felled under the same pattern and for the same purpose: to transform those sites into avocado orchards.
There is so much hypocrisy out there today among consumers.
But Brazil seems to have a wealth of problems these days and only some are its aggressive agricultural expansion. I wonder who is behind that "story" (not much there) pushing climate alarmism though. That stuff has been all but debunked at this point.

Plants grow where they are the happiest. Because of the planet's rotation, every 36,000 years the Sahara changes from desert sand, to a vast wetland with fish and crocks. If plants don't like the global warming changes in variables like heat, insects, and all the interlocking pieces of their environment, they aren't happy, they won't grow, and then we aren't happy.
