Global Food and Water in Decline

We’ve been discussing for sometime the three-legged storm headed towards the U.S., Debt/Energy Shortage/Food Shortage. The subject we’ve covered least is the looming shortage of food and water that seems to be off most politicians’ radar.

Michael Snyder’s http://www.theeconomiccollapseblog.com article “Horrific Food Crisis is Looming,” appeared in Pravda recently, highlighting 20 major reasons why a global food crisis is rapidly approaching. Michael guests first today.

Then Professor Robert Glennon http://www.rglennon.com is Morris K. Udall Professor of Law and Public Policy in the Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona. Professor Glennon describes America’s rapidly dwindling water supply as being an unsustainable situation.
He is author of “Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What to do About It.”
