Gloria Steinem do not merely enter history; she altered its moral architecture. She made female freedom and power intellectually undeniable and political. She gave language to what women had been forbidden even to name. A mind, a force, an epoch unto herself. One of my heroes. Forever. RIP 🤍🕊️

Crop failure in a single global breadbasket region is a concern, but international trade & cooperation makes it possible to alleviate food shortages in one region by importing from another. But climate change is raising risk of concurrent crop failures--raising the stakes. youtu.be/lIZP3ka2VR4?...

Why are concurrent global crop failures such a concern in a warming climate?
