Beryling toward disaster
By SA Tripi
As I sit in my dark kitchen with three windows open hoping desperately for any kind of breeze, I think of Hurricane Beryl, that knocked down our trees in a way I had never seen before. It took away our beloved air conditioning along with everything else that plugs into an electric outlet.
I live in an area with a lot of trees which I love and hate at the same time. I am used to my electricity going out for one or two hours (or sometimes even six) at a time, but as I write this, we are sliding into day five without power. Even though there are crews working in my area, it’s still dark, there is no air conditioning to be had. And the refrigerator has never been so clean. All of my food turned to mush and it sits on the curb awaiting the morning trash pick-up.
In the middle of the night, I decided to do a little light reading using four flashlights. I happened to pick a spectacular book on heat and climate change.
Climate problems are affecting everything we do but it will have a devastating effect on our food supply. It has already started all over the world and it will only get worse.
What the anti-climate people don’t realize is that with a little more than 3.6 degrees of warming we won’t just lose ice sheets but it will bring crop-killing drought. The warmer we get, the greater the threat to our food security.
When you factor in our rising temperatures along with a moronic Supreme Court that seems to restrict anything that might help protect our environment, all we see are the wallets of the fossil fuel industry getting fatter. What can we do? Strong protests and we need to start growing our own food.
If you don’t have a lot of room to grow food, explore vertical gardening or get together with friends who do have room for a community garden. You’ll be surprised what you can do in a small space. It won’t solve all of our food needs but it will help. And if someone has acreage, the possibilities are endless. The time is now. Five years from now could be too late.
