Firstly, it’s not over - in the UK it will cause big storms and potential flooding into the winter.
Secondly, the whole point is to encourage long-term disaster planning. Saying ‘we’re fine until next time’ and then panic buying on the cusp of the next event is exactly the thinking they’re hoping to address.
The weather during spring/summer/autumn affects the food supply year round. If a crop fails in the summer due to heatwaves or floods thats it - no more until the following year.
The situation in the ME affects the price/availability of oil products and fertilisers. Fuel prices makes it more expensive to import food. Fertiliser shortages makes it harder to grow anything here and around the world.
The fact is we’re used to going to the supermarket and picking up whatever we want at a decent price, all year-round. That’s becoming more challenging and could fail this winter.
It’s all starting to wobble. You know when you start losing control of your vehicle? And you overcompensate in one direction then the other- except we’re not even trying to correct shit, we’re going straight into the ditch.
Isn’t it over now it’s coming into September. I don’t imagine there’s going to be many heat wave through a while.
Its due to el nino affecting global food supply through next year
