Yikes. Not only will #climatechange impact the availability of food, but likely the nutritional value of what grow. In developed countries, larger portions (or more weight gain) to get the same nutrients. In poor countries, won't have that luxury of producing excess food. #agriculture #adaptation

Surging concentrations of carbon in the atmosphere have produced potent changes in the way plants grow, draining the nutrients from food.

Bryan Hubbell - quoted in this article - was doing some important work with adaptation at #EPA. It'll swing back, because #climatechange isn't going anywhere, but what a tragedy to lose this expertise.

As the first reanalysis data become available, I think I can say with a fairly high degree of confidence that the March 2026 heatwave will go down as the most anomalously extreme heat event ever observed at any time of year in the southwestern U.S.
