Perhaps you need to a) take a more recent look; and/or 2) find a new grocery store.

What plan is that, exactly? Please provide credible evidence of such a plan.

There should be a flow chart for right wing nut job conspiracy theories such as this "plan" referenced above. I can't keep them all straight.

Food shortages have been here for a while at least where I live. Once the Keystone Pipeline was shut down there is less fertilizer for farmers to grow whatever.

Then add in the high price and shortages of diesel fuel for truckers who transport goods to stores. I have a good friend who is a trucker and he said eventually if he can't make money (by filling up his tanks) then he's going to retire early. There is no point of him driving thousands of miles if he's not going to make any money.

If other truckers do what my friend is planning on doing then the stores won't get stocked up.

Also, China has been buying a lot of land in the U.S. I wonder if that means that China is going to own us? Sounds stupid right?

I don't know about you but I'm scared. My eyes are wide open and I do not like what I am seeing.

P.S.: I am growing veggies and as soon Biden was elected I bought an extra freezer and filled it up with meat, chicken, etc.

Question? Do diesel trucks transport gasoline to the stations? I have not googled that. If they do then we are really in trouble.

Many countries in the world are already experiencing food shortages. With climate change I would expect it to become even more widespread.

Climate change has nothing to do with what's going on IMO.

Explain this one to me please. If our climate is getting warmer, won't the areas that only farm during the summer months have more time for crops ? Since winter/cold weather will be less ?

You're entitled to your opinion. However, there are sources that say otherwise.

Please read Post #26. I've posted several sources discussing the effects of climate change on food production. They explain it better than I ever could.

when Biden has gas at $15 a gallon and you can't afford to go to the store and look for edible weeds in your yard, it is all climate change to you. i know a brainwashed climate change junkie when it is all climate change. This hoax is to control your mind and it is working on you.

How can this be true if the section of the Keystone Pipeline that was shut down... was never even in operation to begin with? I am not doubting that there is less fertilizer, but i AM doubting this cause-and-effect you are stating.
