...this historic US drought, whose situation is only worsening, with almost two-thirds of the United States being affected, fears of a catastrophic global food crisis have arisen causing Robert Thompson, former director of agriculture and rural development at the World Bank and currently a visiting scholar at Washington's Johns Hopkins University, to warn today, “This is a once- or twice-a-century drought, and it's more severe than anybody has been preparing for…”
The exception to Thompson’s warning that no one is preparing for a global food crisis appears to be the United States whose US Army forces have now joined their Homeland Security Department in placing “urgent orders” for massive amounts of riot equipment.
